I have windows XP Home edition 2002 service pack 1. I hate the way add/remove programs is. I can't find internet exporer. I need to unistall and reinstall because it's giving me fits.

You could try upgrading Internet Explorer to the new version 7. That might work. You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx?mg_ID=10010

Or you can see it as a blessing in disguise and get Firefox...
Free, fast, a small 5mb download, Firefox blocks pop-ups and sites from secretly installing programs on your computer. Firefox is powerful too, it's more up-to-date than even IE7 according to the web standards (w3.org).
The main reason I like Firefox is because it's customizable.
Why is customizability important?
Imagine being able to do 2 small things and never seeing a banner ad, flash ad or an iframe ad again? (Remember, pop-ups are gone already)
Imagine being able to pause your computer's music player when the phone rings without having to switch to it?
Firefox puts the power back in your hands!

Instead of looking in add/remove programs, check add/remove windows components. Hope that helps.

Hi!
You can't. IE is embedded in your Windows.
There is a workaround, though: install IE6. The installation kit is available over the internet. Installing it might solve your problem.
Also, there is a .ini file that lets you configure your Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet to show more programs, even some hidden ones. I cannot remember its name, though!
Good luck!
