| Newbie | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Awesome tutorial, very helpful. Never used CCleaner before reading this, while CCleaner was unable to delete the entry I was trying to remove I found a work around. I had an entry named "Search" which was being very difficult. Obviously too many entires in registry named "search" to do a registry search, and the entry wasn't in the default key. Windows Install Cleanup saw the key but was unsuccessful in removing it. I used CCleaner to rename it to "findmenow"(which was successful) then searched the registry for "findmenow". Done in 2 minutes what was taking me hours looking through different entries in the registry. Excellent recommendation on CCleaner. Much appreciated. |

| Administrator | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Hi Punktdawg, Welcome to Vista Forums. ![]() I'm glad you like and found this tutorial helpful. Thank you for sharing your workaround for solving your problem. Some of these programs can be messy when it comes to uninstalling them due to shotty programming. Shawn |

| Newbie | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Thanks for the great tutorial, I was unable to do Method 1 nor 2, becouse of the difgital signs (certificates) -I can't install any program with "unknown certificate" (another headache)-, but Using the Registry was a great help indeed. Thank you so much. |

| Newbie | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry I have Vista ultimate 32 bit SP1 and there is no such path in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall perhaps something has changed with sp1? |

| Administrator | Re: Programs and Features - Remove Uninstall Entry Hello Unbreakable, and welcome to Vista Forums. No, nothing has changed. I have simply forgot to include the 32 bit Vista location. It is included now. ![]() HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Thank you, Shawn |
