I cannot remove Nero9 Lite from 'Quiet Mode Programs'

Greetings:

 

I cannot remove Nero9 Lite from 'Quiet Mode Programs' even though Nero 9 Lite has been completely uninstalled.

 

No matter how many times I highlight the application within Quiet Mode Programs, and hit Remove, nothing happens at all even after rebooting the computer. It is simply still in there...

 

Nero StartSmart 9 Application
C:\program files\nero\nero 9\nero startsmart\nerostartsmart.exe


O/s: Windows 7 Pro 32-bit Retail

NIS 2010, 17.6.0.32

Plenty of subscription days remaining.

 

Any help in solving this problem most welcome!
