Question about 'Clear Unwanted Entries from Add/Remove Programs'

I have a question about Clear Unwanted Entries from Add/Remove Programs:

how do you use Tweak to do this in win2k? I'm almost positive I've done it, but can't seem to figure out how to use Tweak to do this now . . . thanks, this is driving me crazy!

To clean up the starup group items you need to do the following: rigth click on start select open double click on programs double click on startup => remove all unwanted entries then rigth click on start select open all users double click on programs double click on startup => remove all unwanted entries then go to start /run and type regedit=> OK backup HKLM(hkey_Local_Machine) HKCU(Hkey_Current_User) then remove 3rd parties entries from: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run do the same for runonce and runoncex Note: the only entries in HKLM run should be syncronization manager and default. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run do the same for runonce and runoncex if present. Note: the only entry in HKCU run should be default.

Sorry, but I think this _doesn't_ solve what was asked... I also can't see the "Add/Remove" tab on my TweakUI and I use Windows 2000. Is it normal? If not, how can I get my "Add/Remove" tab back? Thanks!

Hi, I cannot see the Add/Remove tab on the TweakUI as well. So I went into the registry and Delete from there manually. You should be able to identify the Entry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall as mentioned in the first page. Kiatlong

Hello, the list of programs in the Add and Remove Programs list is located in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Look inside of each key for a value named "DisplayName" this will tell you which program it relates to. You can then delete the key and the program will not be listed in the "Add and Remove Programs List". For more info read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 314481.
