Discoverable Oddity

Today I tried to remove an old Add/Remove Programs entry for OpenOffice 1.1.2 and was confused as to why I couldn't find its key in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall After a bit of searching on the web I found that there's a "bug" in OOo 1.1.2 that puts its Add/Remove Programs key in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Just wanted to let you guys know in case you ran into this same oddity and want to get that useless entry out of you Add/Remove Programs menu.

In case anyone is interested in the standard official removal of false entries from the Add/Remove Programs list you can find Microsoft Article ID: 314481 here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314481
