Add-Remove Programs not displaying correctly

Something is wrong with my Add-Remove Programs control panel item. When I
click on it I receive a line on top which says "There are no programs
installed in this computer", a large blank space after it followed finally
by the list of programs installed on my computer when I scrolled the display
down. Even within the list of programs displayed the Change and Remove
buttons are always grayed out.

I suspect some bogus registry entry is causing this problem. Does anybody
know what might be causing it ? Does anybody know what the registry key is
that controls the Add-Remove Program list ?

Thanks ! That actually fixed the problem. I wonder how things went wrong ? I
certainly did not mess with any system files myself. I am glad it is fixed.
