Go to MVP Kelly Theriot's site here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm

Click on "A" and on that page scroll down to the Add/Remove Programs
entries for the fix.

here you can either remove the negative number ...:

ARPNegCheck.vbs lists all negative icon references in Add/Remove and sends
the list to NegativeIcons.txt on your Desktop.

Thanks for your help with this.
Done the negative icon check, found them and removed the negative symbol.
Checked add/remove programmes on the control panel but the white space is
still there - will the change happen after I restart my machine or have I
done soething wrong?

Many Thanks
