Re: Change or remove buttons missing from Add/Remove

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

In normal mode the sysstem Vol folder is empty and access is denied. When I
go to safe mode I was able to change for view hidden system folders, however
when I look for the system Vol folder it is not there. What is up with that.
Also when I use safe mode the resolution is so low it makes the windows so
large I can't make changes most of the time.

If you can access the System Volume Information folder, you can find the
most current registry files saved that contain the Uninstall information.
You can then load the Software hive into the current registry, export the
Uninstall key from that bacckup and them unload the hive. The merge the
exported hive registry file into you current registry.

You can first check to see if you have a backup in the
C:\Windows\System32\Config folder or C:\Windows\System32\Repair folder.
Look for a Software file with a recent date, load that into the current
registry, export the Uninstall key, unload the hive and then imort the
Uninstall reg file into the current registry.

REMEMBER to modify the Uninstall registry file to reflect the true current
Software path in the registry MINUS the loaded Hive unique key name.

it only shows two programs that have been installed in the last two
days

Looks like the branch had been deleted completely by a third-party
software.
How about a System Restore rollback?

My change or remove buttons are missing from all but two of my programs
listed. Also most of the icons have changed to the genric icon.
Went to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Uninstall

and it only shows two programs that have been installed in the last two
days.
How can I get the programs back in that location.

Someone told me to reinstall programs. There are over 50. Not realistic!
Where does the uninstall get its info. I now its is still in the
computer.
Somebody must have a fix for this.
Can anybody help?
