Unable to un-install any software?

in XP
When you open Add/Remove Programs applet and click on an application entry, you may be noticed that Change, Remove (or Change/Remove) buttons missing, thus leaving only the application name entry there.
Here is a method to make Windows show the Remove, Change (or the Change/Remove button together) buttons in the listing.
Click Start, Run and type REGEDIT. This starts the Registry Editor. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –>SOFTWARE–>Microsoft–>Windows–>CurrentVersion–> Uninstall–>(Program Name)
(Program Name) here is Adobe Acrobat 5.0 – Taken as an example
In the right-pane, do the following:
Double-click NoRemove (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0
Double-click NoModify (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0
If NoRemove is set to 1, the Remove button will be unavailable
If NoModify is set to 1, the Change button will be unavailable
Not Satisfied ? Just search & get the result
