I have Windows Desktop Search installed on an XP SP2 machine but it does not
show up in Control Panel under Add or Remove Programs.

How can I get it to show up there?

I have Windows Desktop Search installed on an XP SP2 machine but it does not
show up in Control Panel under Add or Remove Programs.

How can I get it to show up there and why doesn't it already show up there?

Thank you kindly.

Is this not a feature of the Operating System? If so, we should
not expect to see it listed among installed software.A

Microsoft has reportedly indicated it WILL show up there and can be used to
remove it.

Nonsense...

Windows Desktop Search does not APPEAR in Add/Remove Programs on this
machine and the program was properly installed from the Microsoft Download
site.

I'm surprised no one can speak to this.
