Add/Remove programs shows the program but just gives me how much use it
has...There are NO remove options. So I tried to reinstall it using the
original cd and it says its already installed and that if I want it removed,
to go to Add/Remove in control panel to perform that function. I'm really
frustrated because its a huge program taking up a lot of Hard Drive Space
and the worst is MS doesn't support the 2006 version anymore and there are
no updates. Could someone please tell me how to get this forsaken program
off my computer? Should I manually start deleting MS Student 2006 folders?
TIA

What happens when you double click on the "Student 2006" line in the ADD/REMOVE window?

Crossposting is fine when done in moderation but I fail to see any
moderation in your case. Let's be a bit more moderate, especially with such
a trivial problem! Why, for example, would you post a program removal
question in a hardware group? Remember - program=software!

Use the scroll bar when viewing the list of programs to be uninstall. This
will probably make the "Remove" button appear.

On the Microsoft Student 2006 DVD line all I get is a line that specifies
"used" - Last Used On and "rarely." There are NOP remove options. I have
other programs that have remove options in my add/remove program but Student
doesn't have it..NOR does the Microsoft Student Graphing Calculator have it.
Please suggest something!

Sorry for the inconvenience but the scrollbar is working fine..as I scroll
down the list of programs and they are highlighting automatically..if this
is what you mean. As for your moderation comment, I fail to see the purpose
of your statement since I'm desperate to have this program removed and I'm
reaching out to ANYONE who is remotely connected with MS to offer some
advice. I "think" your advice has failed to resolve my "trivial" problem
however...

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read

No problem.
1. Set a System Restore point for today before you
go to work.
2. Since your main problem is drive space you might
as well just delete all folders in c:\Program Files that
are unique to MS Student apps.
3. Many file calls to this will remain in Registry. To get
rid of these first make a pencil list of relevant folders (#2)
or EXE files in MS Student
3a. Run REGEDIT.EXE
3b. Do / File / Export to save a copy of the old Registry
to a safe place. (You now have ample filespace.)
3c. Do / Edit / Find for values (e.g. filepaths) for any
likely parts of MS Student (listed in #3).
3d. Delete every key you find that is solely for MS Student.
As you get used to the way the Registry is organized you
will note these are grouped under either / Microsoft or
/Software in each of the major key groups. To save time
you can select in the left panel whole subdirectories of
keys and delete them at one go.

Reboot when finished and make a pencil list of any
file calls to missing MS Student files, in case you need
to purge these out of the Registry again.

In case of unplanned accidents you have both a
System Restore point and a saved unedited Registry,
so you can turn the clock back if needed. None of
this prevents your reinstalling MS Student from its
CD when you can afford the space.

We don't care whether it has a "remove" button, when it was last used,
whether other programs have buttons, or if this one carries its lunch in a
handkerchief.

Answer the question: "What happens when you double click on the 'Student
2006' line in the ADD/REMOVE window?"
