DLL showing on the Project/reference in Visual Basic

Binary Compatibility

Forgetting to set compatibility options causes you to get a bunch of invalid
registry entries. Fire up your favorite registry cleaner and clean those
out. For simple stuff like this I just use RegClean... when I want to get
more thorough, I use System Mechanic Pro (http://www.iolo.com)
Here's RegClean in case you don't have it.
RegClean (ZDNet)

***RegClean Disclaimer***
Note that it's no longer supported by MS (they don't want to hear of any
problems you have with it)... All I can say is... "Works fine here".
There are reports of minor problems involving Win2k with Office2k installed
(VB asks for Office CD when starting) because RegClean removes a required
Office2k registry entry.. but, that doesn't happen often, effects Win2k +
Office2k only (so far) and is easily fixed so... fwiw, I run it both on
(WinXP with OfficeXP @ home) and (Win2k with Office97 @ work) and haven't
had a single RegClean related problem. I've also used it on every other OS.

> Hi! I need everybody's help. When I open a vb project with visual basic
and try to set a reference to the dll from the project, it appears to show
in the project/reference window all of my old dll in there. I already
searched my registry and none of them are in there. I also have unregistered
and deleted from my local machine, but they still appear on the vb project.
I don't know how to clean the reference from the vb project. I would like
to start from fresh and not have the old references in there. What do I
need to do to clean the references from the vb project?
