If you don't want to use X-setup that Daeymon linked to, there are two steps to remove entries in Add Or Remove Programs required when running Windows XP.

Remember, if you incorrectly edit the registry you may render your computer unbootable. Take your time and double check before you delete anything.

Go to Start>Run, type "regedit" (without the quotes), click OK.

Step 1: Navigate to the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products

Under this key you will see a number of 'long numbered' keys. Look inside each one for the string value "ProductName." When you find the one the contains the name of the entry you wish to remove, simply delete the 'long numbered' key you found it in.

Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall, and remove any unwanted keys under "Uninstall."
