where did the uninstallers go?

soberinutah
Opened Add or Remove Programs in Xp home to do some cleaning and out of 30+ proggies that were there a few weeks ago, now only 6 are listed. Of those six only 1 has the change/remove button. I checked all my progams and they all work fine and the uninstallers are in place for most of them but not all.

Browser does not automatically forward

Serville
I have a problem where my browser does not automatically forward to my new post after posting/replying. Usually it works fine and I dont' have to manually click FORWARD. Is it something I did accidentally ? WinXP SP1 and IE 6.
