under sql 2005 folders in the programs start menu there is a folder called
configuration tools with 3 tools not removed how can i remove them cuz they
donat appear programs list in control panel so how can i un-install them
without effecting sql 2008 express

When you select these tools from the start menu, does something actually
happen? I mean, it's just not a case of the shortcuts being left behind?
On that case you could just delete the folder.
