How come I cannot remove programs that are apparently installed in the Program Files (x86) folder? They don't show even with Revo Uninstaller... Is it by default that even if I uninstall the from the regular Program Files folder, they still remain in the Program Files (x86) folder??
Thanks in advance!

What program are you trying to uninstall?
Adobe CS3 (Photoshop, Dreamweaver,...). They still appear in x86...

Your system specs says you have a 32 bit system.
Your post implies you have program entries in both Program Files and Program Files (x86).
That implies you have a 64 bit system.
Which do you have--32 bit or 64 bit?
Assuming you have a 64 bit system, I would not expect to find a given program installation with entries in both Program Files and Program Files (x86), but that appears to be what you are saying. Maybe some programs install in both places, but I can't recall seeing it.
So, I'm confused as to your situation.
I have a 64 bit system and just last week I found one installed program that did not appear in Revo nor in Control Panel Programs and Features. To uninstall it, I had to manually use the uninst.exe file in its Program Files folder.
