Help with add/remove hotfixes.

[da_test]

Hello all,
I noticed that no hotfixes at all are appearing in Add/Remove
programs, including 887742 that was installed this week.
I looked in the registry, the entries are there, and indeed,
by using the "uninstallstring", they can be uninstalled:

Why are they not appearing in add/remove?

Thanks,
Dave

Did you tick "Show Updates"?

Thanks Tom, never noticed that before. Was it added
in SP2?

I don't have any problem with the showing of hotfix items, but have a query
about the numbers shown beside as Q329170 or KB835732 etc. What are these? In
some items it is written to see Q329441 etc. What does it mean? Moreover all
these items don't show the engaging space.

They're the Microsoft KB (knowledge base) article and associated fix.
