I think he meant removing items from the Add/Remove list when they no longer 
have a program to remove... if you'll recall, further back in this thread, 
there was discussion about removing folders of files added by MS patches or 
service packs-- if you manually delete the folders, you won't be able to remove 
the service pack (etc), leaving an orphaned item in the Add/Remove control 
panel.

You can get rid of such items using Regedit-- but easier is to use TweakUI. 
(Lots of other interface tweaking utilities offer such a feature as well).
