But you can uninstall application using windows registry key. Below are the steps on how to uninstall using windows registry: Start --> Run and type regedit , click ok , and then locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Look for the name of the program to be uninstalled, Click on it and on the right side of the window double click on UninstallString and copy the value .
