Yes it ends at the letter "A" and I have scrolled down to the end and
there is nothing more there.

so, you may have a huge white space, scroll down in Add or Remove
Programs to see if this is the problem.

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

One application causes the problem for me. I just removed the reference
to that program in regedit and the black spot dissapeared.

Here is a script which lists all the negative icon references and sends
them to a log file.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/utils/
ARPNegCheck.vbs
Lists all negative icon references in Add/Remove

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/ARPNegCheck.vbs

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

I am running into this more and more where Add/Remove programs fails to
populate fully. I can see all of the installed programs that begin with
the letter "A" and if I select another sort criteria such as size, I
get a different list. Same with each of the other selections.

Anyone have a suggestion or solution?
