cannot remove limewire

Why is it so hard to remove limewire and limeshop from the "add/remove components" section of Windows XP? I have read numerous threads pertaining to this issue, so I know I am not alone. Yet I've tried all the solutions and they are still there. Limewire sucks!

It's me again. You wanna know why I'm so happy? It's because I finally got rid of "Limewire" and "Lime shop"! Wanna know how? I HAD TO RE-INSTALL WINDOW XP! I LOST ALL MY SETTINGS! IT TOOK HOURS TO SET EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL! But that's OK. Just want to put this post here for anyone else who has a problem removing "Limewire". Bottom line is, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN DO IT!!!
