plist

I have a few applications that want access to my contacts. I don't really use contacts, and I don't want applications entitled to the information.

I've unchecked the appropriate box, but I'd like to remove the application from the list:

I've got a couple of applications under Location Services, too (including one Wifi stumbler application that's no longer installed).

What plist do I modify to remove the applications from the list?
