Add Sticky NoteIt may happen many a times that you install a program and it doesn't show up
under Add/ Remove Program in Windows XP. This problem can occur if the program
you installed creates a registry key name that is longer than 60 characters in
length. Add/Remove Programs only lists program names it locates up to the point
it encounters this situation. Follow the steps given to solve the
problem:
1. Go to C:\Windows\Inf folder. In the right pane, scroll down
to sysoc.inf. Open it with notepad. It will look
like…
[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7
2.
The word "HIDE" in an entry hides that application from your Add/Remove Programs
dialog box. To add Pinball to the Add/Remove menu, delete the word HIDE from its
entry. Leave the commas that surround it.
3.
Save the file. Check for the new entries in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box
after you restart your computer.- My favorite computer clean up program, jv powertools, is the best for finding these little programs that suck up your registry space but cant be removed. It's almost 40 dollars however, so its good to find a DIY method for finding these programs. - on 2009-11-01

Alternate Method (when the programs are not in sysoc.inf file)
1. Right
click the Program's shortcut/ Properties to gain the target path where the
application folder is located. Delete the folder.
2. Go to
Start/Run/Msconfig/Startup and make sure it is not listed or checked there. If
so, uncheck it.
3. Remove the program listing from registry by going
here: Start/Run/Regedit
For items that were in the Start menu, Programs,
Startup folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared
Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder. You'll find a subkey for each disabled
item.
For items loaded from the Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg. Again,
you'll find a subkey for each disabled item.
Again while in Regedit,
navigate to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications. If the program is
listed, right click, delete.
4. Go to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder
Options/File Types. If the program file type is listed, either use Change or
Delete.
