Hi, a friend of mine has no programme list in control panel add/remove programme list.

She has several programmes installed and they all work fine. Anyone know how to fix this. ??

Try running a up-to-date Virus / Spyware scanner.

She did that and it caught cookies and stuff but nothing major.

This is due to registry corruption. There is no way to restore them to Add/Remove programs that doesn't involve re-installing them.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is usually a symptom of a larger problem.
