Unable to Change/Remove Programs in Add/Remove Programs List

Fix for when you are unable to remove or change a program listed under Add/Remove Programs.

Click Start–>Run and type REGEDIT. This starts the Registry Editor. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft

\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Uninstall
\ProgramName

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

If NoRemove is set to 1, the Remove button will be unavailable

If NoModify is set to 1, the Change button will be unavailable
