A few days ago there was something on a newsgroup explaining how to get rid
of white space in add/remove.

I didn't need the info then but now I do. Can someone direct me to where
that information is?

Thanks
 
Hi Brian,

See this, from David Candy

Look under here in the registry, one of the icons have a negative
number. Change it to a positive and most files hace a 1 icon. Windows
will try to guess the icon if you remove the entry altogether.

This is Brian writing away from home

I am in the registry (and I think I will randomly delete stuff - just
kidding)

There are quite a number of entries and all of them have {} brackets around
them. The odd man out has a '_is1' outside of the final bracket.

Is that the one I need to change, and should I just delete the '_is1'

It is on a Win2000 machine and the add/remove panel is completely blank and
there is a no scroll bar on the right.

Brian,

It's the "DisplayIcon" string in the right-pane, which contains the negative number,

Example: AutoCad entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{578
3F2D7-0109-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA}]
"DisplayIcon"="C:\\Program Files\\AutoCAD LT 2002\\aclt.exe,-1"
 
Ramesh,

There was one file that had a '-111' and I deleted the comma and the '-111'

I still don't have any icons in add/remove. I have the text for the icons
which should run down the left side, except that the text runs all together
across the top of the window.

I am running Win 2k if that has any bearing on the issue

Brian,

Can you export the \Uninstall key and send to my email id? If yes, remove
text "online." from my mail.
