Programs not in Control Panel

[PattiChati]

I don't know when this happened, but I just noticed that in my control
panels to add/delete, there are only 5 programs in there, where under
programs I have 30 programs. I used to have them all in control panel and I
have no idea when or what happened to them. I don't remember changing any
settings either. Windows xp

Patti, do you mean that in the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs you
only have 5 programs but that in your
Start>All Programs Menu you have 30? What resides in the Add/Remove
Programs are shortcuts to the
Uninstallers of the programs usually found in C:\Program Files Folder.

In the add/remove of the control panel I only have 5 programs that are not
like games, IE, ccleaner, etc. I used to have them a few weeks ago, so
something changed or I changed something. I even clicked the box show
updates then unclicked it and nothing changed. So it doesn't even show the
updates when I click it. This is strange.
