Default Removing a program thats not in Add/remove

Hi guys,

I know that your well against any peer to peer programs,(i am too) however i have been cleaning out my sisters laptop that has had a load of problems and one of the programs that i cant get rid of is Bearshare! ive managed to delete the 4000 songs she had on here but the program does not appear on the add/remove list so i cant remove it the standard way

I want to get rid of it but dont know how? Can someone help?

Thanks

MAtt

Do you know this?:

Hide selective programs/applications listed in Add/Remove:


Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

Locate the program in question in the left pane. In the right pane, right click DisplayName and select rename: Add Quiet so it will read:

QuietDisplayName.

No reboot or refresh needed. Open Add or Remove - the listing is now gone. To revert, rename back to DisplayName.
