I accidentally removed a program from the add/remove programs list that I was actually looking to uninstall. Is there a way to recover the program entry and add it back to list so I can properly uninstall it? Thanks for you help..

What program is it? One way is to reinstall the program and then uninstall it.

Possibly another way is to navigate to the program in C:\Program Files\Unwanted program and locate a file that is named "uninst.exe" (or similar) and double click it.
Should run the programs own uninstaller.

That's true, i was about to mention it in my previous message. Uninstaller is also often listed in Start>All programs>(wanted program).
