Add/Remove programs has no Remove option ??

[paul814]

I've got a winxp SP2 computer that does not have the option to remove
the software under Add/Remove programs for a lot of the software that
is installed. Some have a remove button, but maybe 2 programs out of
the 20 that are installed.

This happens when I am logged in as admin or any other user.

Any idea how to fix this?

You can look in Program Files in the folders of the Apps you want to
uninstall. Many times the App will have an uninstall there.
