I think he meant removing items from the Add/Remove list when they no
longer have a program to remove... if you'll recall, further back in this
thread, there was discussion about removing folders of files added by MS
patches or service packs-- if you manually delete the folders, you won't be
able to remove the service pack (etc), leaving an orphaned item in the
Add/Remove control panel.

You can get rid of such items using Regedit-- but easier is to use TweakUI.
(Lots of other interface tweaking utilities offer such a feature as well).
