expand add/remove listing

[Guest]

I noticed after upgrading to XP Pro 2002 that the listing of removable programs contained far fewer programs than are actually on my machine.
How do I get add/remove to show a complete listing of programs
There are a few I would like to remove that do not show up on the listing, and that don't have their own uninstall programs
Thanks

Add/Remove Programs is just a shortcut to the Uninstallers that are
provided with the Software Programs
that you install. If the program does not have a Uninstaller then you
have to remove the program manually or maybe try a third party uninstaller
like Advanced Uninstaller.

Hi,

Depending......

Do they stop at a certain letter? Then have continued white space that can
go on for days? If so, this has to do with a negative display icon for the
program. If this is your case and it is AutoCad, the fix can be found on my
site on line 226 (right hand side).

If it isn't AutoCad go here and delete the negative sign (-) listed for the
display icon for the program that is listed last and the list will be shown
in full.

If this isn't related to your question, follow the steps provided here:
