    After a program has been removed from my computer it still shows in the add/remove list in the Control Panel. How do I remove it from the Control Panel add/remove list?
    Thanks

    If a program has been correctly uninstalled but an entry for it remains on the Add/Remove Programs list, it requires editing the registry to remove it.

    Click Here for instructions.

    In XP you should be able to just click on it to uninstall it again. It'll see that the program is no longer there and give you the option to remove it from the list (or it should anyway).
