Add/remove list gap

[Guest]

Several people hace asked this with no solutions here. I'll try again. When I
click on add/remove hardware in control panel, the list that comes up has a
HUGE gap between the first 10 programs and the last 20 or so. Any suggestions
on how to fix this? Thanks!

Add or Remove - White Space

This is generally due to the DisplayIcon having a negative number. From here
you can either remove the negative number or remove the last application
listed: Start/Run/Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{}

Wes, I'm a bit confused. First, what do you mean by remove the negative
number in the registry. I drilled down to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{},
but am unsure what to do once I'm there. Also, the files you linked to:are
they fixes? I do have autocad installed, and the gap on the add/remove list
is right after autocad.
Do I run one of the linked files to fix it instead of tweaking the registry?
Sorry I don't understand. Thanks for your help, - Jon

Jon,

I have AutoCAD LT 2000i. The white space in Add or Remove Programs usually
shows up after the AutoCAD LT 2000i listing. If you want to tweak the
registry...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{5783
F2D7-0065-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
DisplayIcon
REG_SZ
C:\Program Files\AutoCAD LT 2000i\aclt.exe,-1

Notice the aclt.exe,-1?? You can change it to read aclt.exe,1

Or you can run one of the fixes. I have both autocadaddremovefix.zip &
autodesk-landdesktop3-addremovefix.zip. They both include icons. I believe
that autocadaddremovefix.vbs is the one that works for me, but I always run
both. I just never took the time to see which one did the trick. It's
easier to just click a couple of times.

I get the white space in Add or Remove Programs every time that I add or
remove a program. It isn't always AutoCAD LT that has the white space after
it, sometimes it's another program. At any rate, one of the fixes will
work. Until the next time. ;-)

autocadaddremovefix.vbs adds an autocad.ico icon to the %systemroot%\web
folder. It also adds this to the registry >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{5783
F2D7-0101-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
DisplayIcon
REG_EXPAND_SZ
%systemroot%\web\autocad.ico

autodesk-landdesktop3-addremovefix.vbs adds an acad.ico icon to the
%systemroot%\web folder. It also adds this to the registry >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{5783
F2D7-0138-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
DisplayIcon
REG_EXPAND_SZ
%systemroot%\web\acad.ico

Wes,

I tweaked the registry manually and it worked! Thanks again.
