Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT. This starts the Registry Editor. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Program Name>

<Program Name> is the name of the software the you want to remove

In the right-pane, do the following:
Double-click NoRemove (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0 , the Remove button will be available
Double-click NoModify (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0 , the Remove button will be available

Important Points to remember before uninstalling a program :

* Before uninstalling a software, you should logoff every user (except the administrator) on the computer.

* Some of the programs are not completely uninstalled and they can leave some traces behind. i would suggest you to find out where the remaining file are and erase them (usually in Program Files or Documents)

* If the program was originally installed with a Windows compatible setup program, then you can only uninstall a program from Control Panel. Otherwise, you need to manually delete the files, folders and the shortcuts.
