I was trying to remove a program using the Add/remove
programs in the control panel. Only a very few of the
programs on my computer are contained in the remove
panel. I must have at least 40 programs installed on my
computer, but only 7 of them are now showing up in the
control panel remove panel. I don't know what happened to
all of the other programs that were contained in the
add/remove panel.

Any suggestions on how to get the programs relisted in the
control add/remove panel?

Whether a program shows up in AddRemovePrograms is dependent on whether
it's actually installed there to begin with.

I think you'll find alot of your programs have Uninstall listings in
Start/Programs/<program-name>/Uninstall

And of course the simpler ones can just be deleted and the shortcut
removed from the Desktop and Start/Programs menu.
