Excepts from my first post...
Add or Remove - White Space
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_a.htm#ws
[[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:
Start/Run/Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{} ]]
Here is a script which lists all the negative icon references and sends them
to a log file.

ARPNegCheck.vbs
Lists all negative icon references in Add/Remove

Dowload the script. Run it by double clicking ARPNegCheck.vbs.
NegativeIcons.txt will be saved to your Desktop.
