When we uninstall any program from Add/Remove option in control panel then that program will uninstalled but still if you find the entries of that program in start menu programs list. You can manually remove that program from start menu by this trick.
Windows compatible programs must include an uninstall program, sometimes though the program may get removed but the entry in Add/Remove programs does not. This tweak allows you to manually remove any orphaned entries.
Navigate To:
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
To see which application each sub-key represents, open it and there should be at least two values 'DisplayName' and 'UninstallString'.
* 'DisplayName' is the name used in the Add/Remove programs list.
* 'UninstallString' is the program used to uninstall the application.
To remove a program from the list you can simply highlight and delete the sub-key representing that program.
