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:

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\
{5783F2D7-0065-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
Value Name: DisplayIcon
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: 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.
autocadaddremovefix.vbs is the one that works for me. It's easier to use
the fix than changing the -1.
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\
{5783F2D7-0101-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
Value Name: DisplayIcon
Value Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value Data: %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\
{5783F2D7-0138-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}
Value Name: DisplayIcon
Value Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value Data: %systemroot%\web\acad.ico

Hi there,
I have a weird entry in my list of installed programs [add/remove
software]:
there is a big block which you can select [it turns blue], but there
is no text in it. You just see above this block some installed
programs and if you scroll a long way down, you get the remainder of
the installed programs. In between it's just plain white.
I must admit I don't have any troubles running the programs, but
[call me a purist] I would like to have the list of installed
programs in correct shape.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
Cheers
Hans
