How to Remove Invalid Entries From Add/Remove Program List in Windows XP and Vista?

Sometimes when you uninstall an application or program through the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, the corresponding entry in the Add/Remove Programs listing may still remains and not removed. This may be caused by incomplete un-installation or poorly designed uninstaller itself. Such entries are called broken and invalid. Invalid entry also occurs when you deleted the files of the program directly from C:\Program Files rather than uninstalling it from the Add/ Remove Programs.

Well, there is no reason to keep all those invalid entries in your Add/Remove Programs list. Therefore, you might want to remove the invalid entries.
