Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Uninstall a program
For some reason only six programs appear in the list of "uninstall a program" in Control Panel. There is a comment that only programs written for Windows will be listed. Up until recently a long list of programs I installed in the past were listed. Does anyone know what has happened? John I would take a glance at what the registry says is available for uninstall. 314481 - How to Manually Remove Programs from the Add or Remove Programs Tool: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314481  SignatureWas this helpful?

Also you might want to check out this little app and IMO it's better than the Windows version of installed programs. They both work the same way as each looks for the program install.log, but MyUninstaller goes a little further and you can read more about this under the "Description" section. BTW, you can run this program without having to install it as it's available as a standalone app. MyUninstaller v1.40 http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/myuninst.html SignatureAll the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft > For some reason only six programs appear in the list of "uninstall a > program" [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Does anyone know what has happened? > John Mark & SG Your suggestions about the register made me remember I had run a register cleaner a few days ago. It was suppose to clean out unnecessary uninstall items but it removed almost all items to make sure it got the unnecessary ones I guess. Fortunately the software included an "UnDoIt" feature and I was able to recover the list and all is well. Thanks, Mark & SG, for your help, John Hi John, Another testimony why NO ONE should use these snake oil Registry Cleaners. No matter what they claim, they are useless and dangerous. At least whichever one you used it had a Undo feature. BTW, you are most welcome SignatureAll the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft > Mark & SG > Your suggestions about the register made me remember I had run a register [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks, Mark & SG, for your help, > John |
