ThumbsUp Remove Dummy Programs In Add/remove Programs
Sometimes, even after programs are uninstalled, or due to the files being deleted instead of being uninstalled through add/remove programs, the entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not get deleted.

To remove it from the list:

1. Start the Registry Editor (Start > Run > regedit).
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

Re: Remove Dummy Programs In Add/remove Programs
deleting the folders from program files can also remove the apps?
