Add / remove Programmes

[Tim]

I have been having troubl with McAfee Parental Controls.
Sorting thisout usually involves uninstalling it and then
e-installing. Ihave just tried to do this but when I go
o Add / Remove Programmes, it only lists about 5 items
when there should be a lot more. Where have they gone?

I should add that all the software is still on the
machine and is working - except Parental Controls!

Hi Tim,

For the latter: This has to do with a negative number being used for the
icon of the last listed program.

If per chance it is AutoCad, run the edit on line 226 (right hand side):

If not, navigate to this key and remove the last listed program and the one
in question per your initial mention. Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Start

My Computer
C:/
Tools
Folder options
View.
Now scroll down and find 'show hidden files and folders'

This should do it.
