Post subject: Add/Remove Programs Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>newusers (more info?)
I seem to recall a question somewhere about some programs not
showing up in "Add/Remove Programs." The answer was something
about a file in the "WINDOWS" hierarchy which you could edit to
change a 1 or 0, or a 0 to a 1, to have it show up on the list.
Anyone know what that filename is?

Hi Herb,
Depends if you are speaking of the white space issues. If not:
To add additional components to the Add/Remove Programs list (Windows
Components):
Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders and Show Extensions
for known file types. Then go to Windows Explorer/Inf Folder/Sysoc.inf
(Double Click it). You will find several lines that include the word
'hide'. Simply remove the word 'hide'(but leave the comma). Save and exit.
From there you will be able to remove it from add/remove.

Kelly-
You're a lifesaver! Thank so much for the reply. I know I'd seen it before,
but I'm old enough that things apparently get moved to the recycle bin if
I don't use them every day.
All times are: Eastern Time (US & Canada) (change)
