The only suggestion I can offer is to remove it from the registry. That's what I always do, but just be sure you're comfortable messing around there. If not, I'm sure there must be some free apps that'll do it for you. 

Here's how to do it manually:

Run regedit:


                     Navigate to      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall               

                     The Add/Remove      Programs list is built from the keys listed beneath the      Uninstall folder.               

                     Locate the key for      the program that has been uninstalled, right click the key and      click Delete.             

             Clicking the keys in     the left pane and looking at the information provided in the right     pane can help in identifying the associated programs. Err on the     side of caution in this operation. Once the key has been deleted     it's impossible to use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall if you make     an incorrect selection.
Good luck.

Win XP Pro Sp1.
I have two versions of a program under Add/remove and I need to get rid of one of them. I also use Tweak for Powerusers which I thought I had an option to do this. At least, when I was using Win 98SE, that Tweak program did that. 

However, I can't find it in this version of Tweak.
Anybody know where it is? Or will suggest another means to remove the obsolete program name from the list?

Thanks,

Len
