Remove Add remove programs entries?

Four and Twenty
I am sure this has been answered here before but I was just wondering how one would go about removing an entry that doesn't belong in the add remove programs applet anymore because for one reason or another the program is allready uninstalled.

Peer-to-peer progys, know of good ones?

Pythagoras
Just curious what people know of out there. I have WinMX which is an enhanced napster that allows sharing of vids and pics too. . . Then I just got bearshare which is an awesome gnutella clone, and from what Ive seen in gnutella clones, it takes a huge leap forward.

Win2000 SP1 installation

areid
I've just upgraded my Win200 installation to Service Pack 1 via the 'download modified files only' option on the MSFT W2K website. The files were downloaded into c:\winnt\servicepackfiles\i386 and automatically copied into the appropriate directories.

Question about KT7A- Raid

Accord2k1
I am going to set this computer up very soon with W2k, probably Voodoo5 5500 AGP and the rest that is in my signature. Can someone tell me the best setup method for this? W2K first? What about flashing the bios or Via drivers? Thanks if anyone that has this motherboard and running W2K can let me know.

Netscape 6.01

Kaiser
Mornin/Afternoon/Evenin all. . . (depends on your point of view really) I see that Netscape has updated to version 6. 01. . . . . anyone had a chance to try this yet? (I'm in work at the moment so I can't) Are there any major changes or does it fix some of the issues with the last version? Thanks for any input.
