I had to reinstall after a Sys32 crash and
now I cannot fine the "Remove Software" icon
in the control panel.

I use the "Classic Microsoft" decor because
it is less busy and easier to read.

Please help, Frank
 
Do a full search on your XP drive for Appwiz.Cpl, when located
double-click to access directly the Add/Remove capability. This
requires searching with these advanced options checked/tic'd:
Search System Folders
Search Hidden Files and Folders
Search Subfolders
 
Thanks I found it!

Now I'll put a shortcut on to the desktop.

Regards.

There might a registry entry which is hiding the Add/Remove Programs from
the Control Panel.

[HKCU\Control Panel\don't load]

Delete the 'appwiz.cpl" in the right-hand pane.
