Remove Orphaned Entries in Add or Remove Programs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes, after you uninstall a program, its entry still remains in the Add or Remove Programs dialog box. When you click on Change/Remove in the dialog box, you get an error, telling you that the program no longer exists. This can be a major headache, if you install and test a lot of different programs. You can remove these orphan entries: -------------------------------------------------- -From a command line or from the Run line, run regedit. This opens the Registry Editor. -Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the folder path \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. -Click on the + sign to expand the listing. -Look for the name of the program with the orphaned entry. -Delete the entire listing for the software with the orphaned entry, by highlighting it and pressing the Delete key. -Close the Registry. The orphaned entry will be gone.

I would like hi to everybody and thought you might enjoy this: (i hope its not a repost...) If AOL Made Cars ----------------------- The AOL car would have a TOP speed of 40 MPH yet have a 200 MPH speedometer. The AOL car would come equipped with a NEW and fantastic 8-track tape player. The car would often refuse to start and owners would just expect this and try again later. The windshield would have an extra dark tint to protect the driver from seeing better cars. AOL would sell the same model car year after year and claim it was the NEW model. Every now and then the brakes on the AOL car would just "lock-up" for no apparent reason. The AOL car would have a very plain body style but would have lots of pretty colors and lights. The AOL car would have only one door but it would have 5 extra seats for family members. Anyone dissatisfied could return the car but must continue to make payments for 6 months. If an AOL car owner received 3 parking tickets AOL would take the car away. The AOL car would have an AOL cell phone that can place calls only to other AOL car cell phones. AOL would pass a new car law forbidding AOL car owners from driving near other car dealerships. AOL car mechanics would have no experience in car repair. Younger AOL car drivers would be able to make other people's AOL cars stall just for fun. It would not be possible to upgrade your AOL car stereo. AOL cars would be forced to use AOL gasoline that cost 20% more and gave worse mileage. Anytime an AOL car owner saw another AOL car owner he would wonder: M/F , age? It would be common for AOL car owners to divorce just to marry another AOL car owner. AOL car owners would always claim to be older or younger than they really are. AOL cars would come with a steering wheel and AOL would claim no other cars have them. Every time you close the door on the AOL car it would say "good-bye."
