Windows 98 Misc - Add/Remove Programs Which Are Gone

SUMMARY: Clear programs from the Add/Remove Programs menu that have actually been previously uninstalled.

When applications are uninstalled incorrectly, the program names remain under the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel. Before, to remove the names from this control panel you would have to edit the registry. Now, with Win98, just click the program name you'd like removed from the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel and select "Add/Remove." If Win98 realizes the program cannot be uninstalled correctly, it will ask if you want the name removed from the "Add/Remove" list.
