A Removed Software is still listed in Add/Remove Programs and Registry!

[MarshallO]

I removed Sygate Personal Firewall from my computer some time ago, yet it is STILL listed under Add/Remove Programs (without a "Remove" button, however), as well as in the Registry! 1) Does anybody know how I can get it off the Add/Remove Programs list without a "Remove" button? 2) Does anybody know how to remove what's left of its folder from the Registry (all that's left inside the main and sub-folders is "[AB] (default) REG_SZ (value not set)", which seems to be some kind of universal shared entry). Thanks!

Hi I always use search and type in name of program and when it finds it highlights it and delete works everytime.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\

The key name should look something like the following: -

{F34D9A5F-484A-4E31-A9D3-908CB265B289}

Please remember to back up your regsitry, prior to making any alterations, etcetera.

If your not happy about registry editing, I belive TweakUI has a feature you can use to remove dead Add/Remove enteries.
