In xp pro when I open add/remove Programs there is only 5 entries, & I
dont have any options to Change/Remove. ie. nothing happens when I
click on it.
-Adobe Reader 6
-Highmet ext. to MS Windows xp cd etc.
-HP photo & Imaging 1.0 etc.
-ShareIns.
-WebFldrs xp.
Yet I have over 20 programs installed including Zone alarm pro,
Ad-aware & SpyBot, AVG 6. All these are uptodate.

Checked for reg. - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
and the 'Uninstall' does not exist. Also, I cant see this 'Uninstall'
'string' anywhere in the registry settings mentioned in Kellys' 'xp
a-z'- 'add/remove' tips.
 I am logged in as 'Administrator"
>From the 'Start - All Programs' nearly all the programs listed here
have the 'Uninstall' function.

I have scoured the forums & read Kellys A-Z. But I am none the wiser.
Even with the programs listed in 'Add/Remove Programs' there is no
'Change/Remove'option.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Alan

updates etc. to date
