Re: Repair icon the the control panel

Depending on the build you are using, its a blank icon, just look for the
name Programs.

Re: Repair icon the the control panel

Under Control Panel, there is a program item. The add programs is
empty and there is no remove.

If I go to "Non-classis view, i see an icon that says remove programs.

Re: Repair icon the the control panel

In Build 5365, I see four icons, Currently Running Programs, Installed
Programs, Startup Programs and Windows Features.
Currently Running Programs - Open applications that are running or Task that
are running in the backgroun.

Installed Programs - Programs you have installed on Windows Vista

Startup Programs - Applications that load up in your start up folder, such
as Adobe Gamma, Acrobat Distiller for example.

Windows Features - Components that come installed with Windows, such as
Games, IIS, NFS for example.
