Author name: Richard Bunt

System Requirements: VB6, for VB5 it will need an adjustment.

Future: Will Allow the user the select the items they want to removed and notify them of dead project links.


EDIT: please see the post below for important notes and an update - the attached code in this post has problems!

Due to the fact that VB6 re writes the registry values back to the registry on unloading the addin is useless :). So here is an exe, it has to be run when visual basic isn't running for it to work :)
