Add or Remove oddity

I recently wiped my hd and reinstalled XP Home and its bazillion updates,
along with Office 2000/XP, Money, etc. I opened up Add or Remove and the
list displayed doesn't seem to contain all of the programs I have installed
(e.g. MS Money), but the biggest oddity is that the majority of the listed
"installed programs" appear to be parts of installations. For example:
Symantec Technical Support Web Controls,
Readme,
Microsoft Money Shared Libraries,
10 entries for Catalyst Control Center (various aspects of it)

Also, most have the generic setup icon and few, other tha the actual
programs say anymore than their usage, including no remove button.

I like to look at my installed programs now and then just to see if I have
any erroneous software that needs booted out and such, but this list is crazy.

Any thoughts?
