Add and Remove programs

Comment:
When I go to the add and remove programs not all of my programs are listed. Only around five or so show up when I have around 15 and plus all the hotfixes don't show either. Any reason why?

Have you recently used System Restore to go back to an earlier time ?

Some programs will not show if they have not made certain (common) registry entries. For example, an executable with an .ini file and a save file will not necessary show up in the Add/Remove list. It may be a program, but its not registered itself to Windows. Often small, free, or older programs are like this.
Lesley asks a good question, which is probably your real problem.

Also - if you have recently Installed SP1 -that will remove all your previous Hotfix entries as they will have been included in SP1 - that is normal

Go to Program Files and look for the specific program. If the program isn't in the Add/Remove Programs list, it is always in the Program Files folder unless you specified for it to be elsewhere. Also, some programs have indivudual un-install files.
