    Hi,

    I'm using WinXP SP2 Home edition. I've noticed something strange and wondered if anybody had an explanation.

    If I go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, and click on one of the installed programs, it will list how often the program is used. This is not accurate at all. Programs that I use on a daily basis are listed as "rarely" and programs that I haven't used in almost a year are listed as "occasionally." Any idea what the problem is?

    To let you know, this is not unique to your system.

    Same here, and I suspect that this is one of those minor XP bugs which I never bothered to track down. I've noticed this on quite a number systems - Home and Pro.

    Regards - Charles
