Hi Carol,
It removes everything to do with that program's installer information. Not 
the program itself, but the installer information, which is held in the
Install Shield installation logs, which includes registry entries. So it is 
zapped.

All the best

Steve

Yeah, I understand.  Steve's suggestions sounds a good one, but you still
may need a decent registry editor to keep that tidy.  Don't know if the
program in question removes registry entries or just everything visible to
the end user. Steve may know or of course you may find the answer when you 
search through the documentation.  Anyway, be very carefuly with the
registry.  It's one of those things which is easy enough if and when you
know what you're doing but you can render your computer incapable of booting 

if you don't.

Hi Carol,

Thank you for your message.
yes, Freedom Scientific Braille and Freedom Scientific Document Server are 


showing up in Add remove programs in Control Panel, Tristram says that
these are registry entries and therefore I feel that I need sighted help
to remove them, particularly as neither entry has a remove button next to
it, and each says it has an update attached to it that can not be removed.
