============================== Add/Remove Pro v. 2.02 ============================== This program is freeware written by Ray Geide and distributed by Super Win Software - http://superwin.com/. Maybe no one is like me, but you should see my Add/Remove Programs list. It is full of broken links. The only way to remove them is to open up the Registry and try to figure out where the Uninstall entries are. I'm too lazy to do this more than once a year, so I wrote Add/Remove Pro. Each Entry in Windows Add/Remove Programs list has additional information in the Registry about how to uninstall it. The Uninstall String is usually part of this information. This is a Link to an uninstall program and parameters passed to it. Add/Remove Pro checks the Link to see if it points to available files and if not, if the destination drive may be a removable disk that isn't present. Because of long filenames and parameters it is hard for Add/Remove Pro to be perfect when detecting if the link is good. So sometimes Add/Remove Pro says that a link is bad when it isn't and vice versa. You can use the Finder to see if the link is valid or not. If you find a link that Add/Remove Pro has identified improperly please copy the Uninstall String from the Checker and send it to me by email (geide@superwin.com). NOTICE Removing entries from the registry will not decrease the size of the registry until the Registry is exported and rebuilt. WinRescue can perform this. It's process for doing this is called RegPack. WinRescue is Shareware and may be downloaded from our website at http://superwin.com/. I recommend that before you do anything to the registry that you back it up with WinRescue. If Windows95/98 crashes, WinRescue can restore it in minutes. WinRescue can return the registry to a previous configuration, make and restore backups, and rebuild the registry. For more information go to our website at http://superwin.com/rescue.htm. Possible Problem - I noticed that *.reg files are not restored by regedit (even though it says they are) if the first line of the *.reg file does not say "REGEDIT4". Add/Remove Pro puts this at the beginning of the backup reg files that it produces. It is possible that if you are using a different version that a different number must be in this line, for example, REGEDIT5. I am using Win98. So if you restore a backup in Add/Remove Pro and it doesn't restore anything, try changing the first line of the reg file with a text editor.
