Okay, under add/remove programs, there are some programs which I have removed.

In their entirety. I deleted all reference to them in the registry and everything.

They won't leave my add/remove programs list.

I find this quite vexing.

Anyone now how to fix this?

1.   Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2.   Locate the following key:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3.   Locate the key to be deleted by locating the key name created by the program. If the name of the key is not apparent, browse through each key and note the value for DisplayName. This is the viewable string in the Add/Remove Programs tool.
4.   Using the Registry menu, export the selected registry key to make a backup. Store the .reg file in a safe location in case you need to import it at a later date.
5.   Delete the selected registry key and its values. Do not delete the entire Uninstall key.

BTW...anyone figured out who my new picture is of yet?
