Hi :) Earl found an excellent tool for this sort of thing i think " an excellent free replacement and far superior to MS' Add/Remove, IMO. You can download it at the link below and install just like any other app. After clicking the link, be careful to not choose the 30-day free trial of the "Pro" version -- you don't really need it..well, unless you're needing to put your wallet on a diet. :-) Instead, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the FREE download button. Works great on Win-XP and Vista. If your OS is otherwise, check requirements at the link before downloading. HTH!

However, the Cleanup utility this hyperlink refers to is no longer available - and of course, MS support states that its up to the manufacture of each application to resolve this type of problem.
