i have found them - do i just delete each ones folder?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
hello <br />
<br />
i know very little about Windows 2000 internal workings so my apologies if this is a stupid question.<br />
<br />
CONTEXT:<br />
<br />
I have a machine which had quite alot of visual basic dll's and visual basic active x exe's installed on it. &nbsp;These programs all appear in Add/Remove programs under administrative tools. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately all of these programs have been deleted from the C:\Program Files. &nbsp;But they have not gone through proper uninstalls. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
This means that all of the applications are still visible in Add/Remove programs despite not being present on the machine.<br />
<br />
THE PROBLEM:<br />
<br />
When i go to remove these from add/remove programs i get message &quot;Could not open log file&quot; and it gives the original address of the application log file (which has been manually deleted).<br />
<br />
<br />
MY QUESTION:<br />
<br />
How can i clear add/Remove programs of these applications? &nbsp;Without having to reinstall windows 2000!<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Clear &quot;Add/Remove Programs&quot;

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
