The tool is severely limited which becomes obvious when problems are encountered. Every Windows user will likely experience situations where software cannot be removed using the standard remove programs module. The uninstallation simply stops or does not start at all leaving the user puzzled and confused. Another problem with the remove programs control panel module is that it does not list all of the programs that have been installed in Windows.</p><p>Arp++ is a portable software program that promises to do better. Running Arp++ next to the default uninstallation module visualizes the latter problem. The uninstaller displays additional software programs that the default Windows uninstallation module is not displaying at all.</p><p><span

It is possible to hide updates from the list of programs that can be uninstalled in Windows. That&#8217;s usually a good start as it makes it easier to skim through the rest of applications listed. Programs can be removed by selecting them and clicking on the Remove button.</p><p>Arp++ does not offer advanced features (like scanning the computer system for leftovers after installation) that other uninstallers like <a
href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/09/revo-uninstaller-program-uninstaller/">Revo Uninstaller</a> offer. It is on the other hand more responsive than the default Remove Programs module in Windows. The developer is <a
