Hi diaglez.

Start\Run\"control appwiz.cpl"

or

Start\Run\"C:\WINDOWS\system32\appwiz.cpl"

will launch Add/Remove Programs but I don't think you can specify an application to uninstall I'm afraid.

Each program is unique as to what needs to be done to remove it. Windows stores the list of things in the "Add/Remove Programs" box in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Included in the listing is the command-line used to uninstall whatever appears in the list.
