There are several ways to do it.  If you feel comfortable using the 
registry editor (either regedit.exe or regedt32.exe) you can navigate 
your way to:

HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\uninstall

Each program listed in Control Panel Add\Remove will have an uninstall 
key listed there.  Just remove the key (delete it).  In the event you 
don't have permissions, use regedt32.exe and assign permissions to 
yourself.  But generally those keys are not permission locked.

The second way is a brute force method that works with the hotfix 
uninstall folders.  Just delete the folder including any sub folders 
that exist under it.  Then open Control Panel, Add/Remove and click on 
the uninstall button for that particular hotfix.  The system will 
respond back that it can not remove the hotfix.

It will then offer you the choice of removing the entry from Control 
Panel, Add/Remove.  Select yes.

You're done.

Regards.
