Tom I found a fix though a very labor intensive one. I searched every entry in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
until I found the program with the negative value in DisplayIcon and changed
it. In my case I changed the Data Value from -1 to 1 and the whitespace
disappeared.
The program should be somewhere between the last entry at the begining of
the whitespace and the first entry at the end of the whitespace.
Good Luck.
