1. I have duplicate programs showing up in my "programs and features" in the control pannel. (microsoft visual c++ 2005 redistributable) and i think a few others. when i try to click on one to uninstall, nothing happens.

2. programs that i have uninstalled are still showing up in my programs folder. should i try refinding them and reinstall/uninstalling them?

3. one program, to my knowledge is not showing up in my "programs and features" control pannel and there's not s shortcut to uninstall it. Help?
