I had a look in the system 32 folder to find that there was 2 Appwiz.cpl (1 & 2 ) so I deleted No2 leaving only one ADD & REMOVE icon. .... But the programs are still not populating (add& remove program list) How if any could I rectify this.

When restoring it again the second icon is also restored into the control panel

Phantom010 to answer your Q ) If you restore it, are the programs reappearing in "Add or remove programs"? it still does not populate the add & remove program. Sorry this will be my last note for tonight as Im in need of my ugly sleep work tomorrow. will carry on tomorrow.

Thanks So Far

Sorry, I've not had my eye on the ball as late, but to answer Phantom010. No, I deleted #2 from the recycle bin, now everything seems to working fine in that area, it only take approx 30 - 40 sec to populate the add & remove dialog box.

I thank you again.
