If you have a program that won’t uninstall, you could simply start in safe mode, then delete the directory where the program lives.  Now you have to remove it from the Add/Remove program list.  Simple, though.

  1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
  2. Open
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall
  3. and remove any unwanted subkeys under Uninstall.
