I AM SORRY THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO KEEP UP THIS EFFORT FOR 6+MONTHS.  As for those of you who might actually noticed that I have insulted the hell out of you, I will offer a little advice that I have found useful for me (XP service pack 3):  add/remove programs through the control panel sucks and it lacks on my system until, well, I become hostile enough to lash out a forum posters, so I have downloaded a simple cleaner that zips through the uninstall process and then scans to clean all from one app. so I often don\'t even get prompted to reboot in order to remove the last lingering pieces of any program.  I think that the real name is just CCleaner, it is free, and there are "settings" that allow you to do things like:  show updates, hide windows components, view entire start up menu.  Good luck.</div>\
