Add/Remove White Space

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

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.

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.

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,

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"
