Geek Stuff: Windows Add/Remove program missing from Control Panel

You want to add a program onto your computer system, but when you go to the Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel) you noticed that the specific Add/Remove Program icon is missing from the list.

• This can be due to Appwiz.cpl missing or damaged. This applet is stored under the command name appwiz.cpl in the system 32 folder.
• First of all, click on "Start" and select Run. Then, in the opened window, type: appwiz.cpl

This will open up the Add/Remove prgrams listings.
