Re: Add/Remove Programs

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Herb,

Depends if you are speaking of the white space issues. If not:

Add Programs to Add/Remove
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q223182

To add additional components to the Add/Remove Programs list (Windows Components):

Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders and Show Extensions for known file types. Then go to Windows Explorer/Inf Folder/Sysoc.inf (Double Click it). You will find several lines that include the word 'hide'. Simply remove the word 'hide'(but leave the comma). Save and exit.
From there you will be able to remove it from add/remove.

For Programs: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/15/1/How-to-hide-an-entry-in-the-AddRemove-Programs-applet.html

I seem to recall a question somewhere about some programs not
showing up in "Add/Remove Programs." The answer was something
about a file in the "WINDOWS" hierarchy which you could edit to
change a 1 or 0, or a 0 to a 1, to have it show up on the list.

Anyone know what that filename is?
