Removing a Program entry from the Windows 'Registry'.

[c.k.]

If you happen to delete the program folder accidently or you cannot uninstall a certain program.
Or even if you've uninstalled something, but few bits and pieces are still stucked in 'Registry' then here is the easy way out.

The tutorial was done on Windows 7 based computer, but the process should be pretty much same on the other versions of
Windows (especially Windows Vista)

This process involves tethering with system registry, so make sure you follow the instructions properly.

[c.k.]

Click on the 'Start' (now called as a windows key) button.
Then click on 'All Programs' - 'Accessories' - 'RUN'

[c.k.]

You'll see this dialog box.
Now write 'regedit' command and hit enter (or click on ok).

[c.k.]

There you have the 'Registry Editor'.
Now click/expand 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'

[c.k.]

Then click/expand 'SOFTWARE' (as shown in the image below)

[c.k.]

Now locate the application which you'd like to get rid off.
Right click on it, and selet 'delete'.
For example: If you wish to remove 'Autocad', you should delete 'Autodesk' (as Autodesk is the vendor/developer of Autocad).
