TIP OF THE DAY

Category: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP

Clean Up The Add/Remove Box

**WARNING: This tip is only for the most advanced users. Tweaking the Registry is very risky. Always back up the Registry before you make any changes.

Sometimes, when you uninstall a program, its entry remains in the Add/remove programs listing. Or you might delete something manually and find that the entry remains in the list of uninstallable programs. You can clean up the list and remove programs that you've already uninstalled. Run Regedit and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

From there, you can remove any unwanted items, which are in the form of Registry keys.

VAIO SUPPORT AGENT...friggin SONY doesn't even give you a stand alone copy of XP...it's all bundled up with all the other "treats" they feel you must have

I like SONICSTAGE since it writes text to CDs along with the tunes which is then displayed on Sony players, but Sonicstage uses some sort of proprietary "audio format" that isn't recognized by other audio software as even being audio
