Olorin...

Thanks much... It took awhile to go thru the many that were there, but I
finally found what I was looking for and deleted it. It is no longer in
the
Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs page.

I am surprised that an Advanced search thru system and hidden files and
text
could not find it.. This is a place to remember in the future.

Thanks again...

Ray

I have tried to Remove Print Shop using the Control Panel - Add and
Remove
Programs and it didn't work, so I deleted all appearances, files and
folders
of the software everywhere I could find it... including the Registry.
It no longer appears anywhere except on the Add or Remove Program
screen,
and I cant figure out where that is populated from..
I tried to reload the software, so I could try another uninstall, but
it
now
fails to load, so I trashed the disk. It was old and out of date
anyway.
Any ideas... or do I just need to learn to live with it?

Have a trawl through
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
One
of the entries there will be the one you're after.




You're welcome - and thanks for posting back with the outcome!
