Solved Cannot remove a program in Control Panel (Intellitype pro)

[StoneTemplePir8]

I had Intellitype pro 7.1 installed awhile back. I thought I had it successfully uninstalled, however I noticed the other day that it was still listed in Programs and Features in Control Panel. When I click on it there are no options for 'Modify' or 'Uninstall'. I did a search for Intellitype in my C drive and found only a couple of empty folders which I then deleted. This did not solve my problem though... I found a couple of Intellitype items in my regedit but I do not want to be messing around with my registry without knowing the consequences. How do I remove this program from my Control Panel and is it safe to delete these items in the registry?

(computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Intellitype Pro, computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Intellipoint Intellitype Pro Bluetooth, computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Intellitype Pro Auto Update)

Use this it will be gone

Revo Uninstaller Pro - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems

If it is gone or if it is not, use this after revo.

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Leave your registry alone, use ccleaner and you will be ok

Always start with a system restore point, just in case.

You could try MyUninstaller. Just delete the dead entries in MyUninstaller:

MyUninstaller: Alternative to the standard Windows Add / Remove module

Thanks for the very fast responses!

I have solved my issue. I forgot that CCleaner had a tool for uninstalling programs. It has removed it successfully. Problem solved.
