Default Re: Add/Remove

I fixed the "blank spot" problem!!!!
Although the script found no negative numbers, I still believed that you
and "Kelly's Korner" had identified the problem for me. Since an item is
missing from Control Panel Add/Remove, I thought about looking at the
list with another uninstall program.
I've had PCMag's Unclean on my system for a long time but I just thought
of utilizing it for this purpose. Better late than never, I guess...
Anyway, I found Microsoft Encarta 2000 in the Add/Remove list of Unclean
but it did not appear in the Control Panel Add/Remove list. Also,
alphabetically; this is the spot Encarta should be in-- blank space
area.
I removed Encarta with Unclean and now the blank space is gone.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
