hot fixes

I downloaded and installed SP2. Had no problems doing that. I checked Control
Panel=>Add or Remove Programs and noticed that my list of Hotfixes had
disappeared and SP2 is not listed as being installed. There is however a
large blank space on the scrollable page in this window between the installed
programs. Does anyone know how to get rid of this blank space and what
happened to the hotfixes list?
Please help

The reference to the hotfixes are gone because SP-2 replaced them.

Go here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 226 Right column "Remove the white space..."

"Service Pack 2" should be listed near the bottom of Add/Remove
Programs.

Ok that explains their disappearance. Thanks.
As for the white space I still have not resolved that problem. According to
the tip at kellys-korner DisplayIcon should not have a negative number.
Thing is I can't find DisplayIcon in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\
folder. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

You left the {} off the key which will be intended to denote the next level.

However, that fix looks as if it applies to a particular product (AutoCAD).

What happens if you do something with your Display options
which would cause recalculation to be done for the window's
parameters? E.g. switch from XP theme to classic theme
or switch screen resolution temporarily.

BTW this particular question might be better answered
in a newsgroup which specializes in that OS.


Good luck
