Everything after filechecker in my add-remove are GONE. I did several Go
Backs, even back to 7-1-04, and nothing brings them back. I wanted to
remove FireFox, because it was putting sale adds in my task bar with a
blinking bell, and every time I opened MSN 9, FireFox took over as the
browser, and I didn't have it checked to, My Default Browser. That's
when I discovered everything past filechecker was no longer in my
add-remove. Missing are about 20+ programs.
They are still in Programs on the start menu, How can I get these
programs to show up again, in Add-Remove. I can't un-install any of
them, if they do not show up there, unless they come with an
un-installer with their program. Any Help Appreciated. TIA

Look at the scroll bar, scroll clear down. You may have a huge white space,
not missing items.

Go here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Read instructions at the top
Scroll down to:
226. Right hand side
Click on:
Remove the White Space from Add or Remove

You may have to run this edit every time you add or remove a program ;-(

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thanks for the url, I will check it out later this evening. I've been on
the pc all day. I downloaded and installed FireFox. No white spaces in
Add - Remove. FireFox doesn't show up in Add- Remove. It Stops at
filechecker. Today my Nortons Works is up for renewal, and I bought the
2004, but can't un-install Nortons 2003, because it doesn't show up in
Add-Remove. Another problem. Thanks again for your help, I will let you
know if your site helped.

Thanks Wes for your help, posting that info. I just had to check out the
url right away.
I removed the last entry in Add-Remove, like the info. suggested, and
everything showed up again. I saved that url, just in case :-). You're
a life saver for sure. I can't thank you enough.

Glad you got fixed up. ;-)

Being a newbie how does one delete the white space?
FYI:
the same thing happened before I installed SP2. What I did then is sort by
"last date used" but that is not working this go around.

TIA,
Spiderrman
