I typed in REGEDIT.EXE and followed it's path. Any folder that is is listed for
programs that I no longer have on my computer, i can delete or that i no longer
want, is this correct? There are folders for programs that I have deleted in there.

TweakUI
This free program will do that and much more.

Removing Programs from Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs Section
If you uninstalled a program by deleting the files, it may still show up in the Add/Remove
programs list in the Control Panel.
In order to remove it from the list.
1.Open RegEdit
2.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3.Delete any programs here.
If you have a problem locating the desired program open each key and view the DisplayName
value

I have recently uninstalled a few programs by using Norton Uninstaller program. However
I've noticed it didn't uninstall things completely, so I used windows Add/Remove
program as well to remove these. I still see parts of programs listed in my start
up menu. (ie. I uninstalled Canon software using Norton Uninstaller but I still see
the Canon folder in my C: drive also one of the programs in the start menu.) Shall
I try TweakUI program?
