Rock,
You rock! you are a genuine example of a saint to provide so much helpful
advice and information. Thank you so much!
The problematic computer is at my workplace. it's not actually my
computer... I have been feeling bad about it as one day I will leave, who
knows when. My successor will inherit the problem if I have not fixed it.
However, my employers are rather stupid in not providing any backup
facililties as you suggest is wise to do. So I am thinking I will leave
the
XP Add/Remove problem. I am pretty sure now that I caused it with a reg
cleaner. (I use Windows Defender to deal with malware at my work. It seems
to
do a good job). If I can't find a fairly easy fix I am inclined to the
solution suggested by BillW50. JV16 Power Tool has a good Add/remove
programs
facility. I will pay the $20 to install it. It's a small price to pay for
my
reckless stupidity.
However, for my home computer, I will get acronis, I was already intending
to do so. I've got the 300GB ext HD. And for sure I will follow all the
links
you kindly provide to relevant information. Thanks again friend. Really,
you
know, I see that much of my "problem" has been in my head -- a concerned
attitude about what I had done. I am not concerned anymore. I just needed
to
discuss it with people like you who know what they are talkng about.
Thanks mate!
Max
