change/remove buttons missing

[malagash]

In Add Remove programs the change/remove buttons are missing on the IBM crapware entries. I want to uninstall a them but am thwarted at the moment.

I tried the following but the programs that I want to remove do not have registry keys.

REGEDIT:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Uninstall
\<Program Name>

<Program Name> here is Adobe Acrobat 5.0 - Taken as an example

In the right-pane, do the following:

Double-click NoRemove (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0
Double-click NoModify (REG_DWORD) and set it to 0

Any ideas?
Thanks
