• Deleting applications from programs and features (Control Panel)

  I uninstalled Roxio Creator & MyDVD 9.0 OF and now have an entry inherited in "programs and features" in the sign that says like Module of sound Activation, but without any information Editor/installed on Date/size.

  When I click on the entry "Module activation Sonic" nothing happens, yet it seems to be preventing me from you registering Roxio Creator 10. The registration process may not first find an internet connection, then when I try to record offline crashes just the process.

  Any help appreciated

• List of "programs and features" Control Panel does not display some "details".

  I already have 'Last used' in the menu of details and the column IS showing on the list of programs. but the data is empty for all the programs.   I have a LOT of details added selected and all columns in the details chosen gave except this one (but then, how can I trust the lack of data in other columns?)  I wonder why?  Believe me, I have used many of them!  Secondary question is: How to fix , and if it can be fixed in the Panel, is there another way I can get the same info?

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on laptop 64 bit.

  Thank you.

• Programs and features: frequency of use of program

  I remember in Windows XP, the programs and features Control Panel had a feature that let the user know how many times a program has been used ("seldom", "occasionally" or "frequently") in order to help the user to decide which programs to remove. However, it does not appear to be such a feature in the programs and features Control Panel in Windows 7. Is this true? And if not, how to validate such a device?

  No, it was deleted because it was inadequate.  A few details about how it calculates information used last is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/09/178342.aspx

  This little special (last used) was more difficult to determine reliably.

• Uninstalled program is still listed under "programs and features".

  Original title: a program is listed in programs and features. It was uninstalled and deleted directories. Yet, it still shows in the list programs and features. How can I remove it?

  I had installed this program before. I thought I had uninstalled. I tried to re-install this program, but cannot. I checked the list of programs, and it is still in the list, after being uninstalled. How do I remove it from the list?

  Hi n4ctf,

  Take a look at this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481

  Edit the registry to remove an entry. This link refers to Windows XP but I checked with Windows 7 and it works so it should work with Vista.

  Once you have access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall you will see a list of numbers. You will need to go through each of these numbered editions to find the program you want to remove. Click on a number in the left column, for example {08D605B4-DCD1-451F-ABD7-52E6BB868E4E} and you will see then the details is in the right column of the registry editor. See the 'full name' so check to see what the numbers program refers to.

  Normally, I would recommend that you try to reinstall the application rather that tinkering with the registry, but as you have already tried unsuccessfully to re - install, change the registry could be the last option. By the way, before making any changes in the registry, make sure that you back up the registry first. This link of my website will show you how to back up the registry:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/backup_the_registry.htm
