ARGH! Trying to remove an entry from add/remove programs. I installed 'windowblinds' which caused some weird behaviour on my computer, so I uninstalled it. The program is gone ... but there is a HUGE black entry in the add/remove program dialog where it used to be. I can't get rid of this. I went into regedit and removed all entries for the program (there were 2) ... I went through the entire uninstal info in the registry and can't find a reference to the program or the company that makes it (even checked the info in the keys). I installed the new winxp powertools tweakui hoping that it would fix ... but the 'remove entry from add/remove program' is gone from this version. So I found a copy of tweakui 1.33 and installed that ... but I can't find the section to edit hte add.remove programs section there either! this is driving me crazy. I want my nice clean list in add/remove programs back. Not abig black blotch that is 100+ screens in size!
