I have a huge space immediately after a program (AutoCAD
200LTi) listed in the "Currently Installed Programs" list
in "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel. If you click
on that program, it highlights along with the huge(enough
for hundreds of programs) space following. I fixed this
long ago on another XP Pro machine but cannot remember
how I did it. Anyone else had this happen and fixed it?

Item No. 226 (right column) and click on "Remove the White Space from
Add or Remove".

Carey, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, Kelly's script didn't work, nor do I remember fixing the problem this way before. It likely requires some registry editing but I don't no where to begin. Windows 2000 had this problem and it was fixed by a regedit tho the KB shows no data for XP. Meanwhile, I'll keep looking.
