Wonder if they could be hidden from the windows add/remove list.
Try the tip below.
Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options check Show hidden files and folders.
Open sysoc.inf in the C:\WINDOWS\inf Then press Ctrl+H to open the Replace Wizard.
In Replace Wizard:
Find what: ,hide,
Replace with: ,,
Then go to control panel Add/Remove , if there were any hidden components they should now show.

Hi Humpty,
I used your "tip" because I was showing 14 items in the Uninstall Tools section of CCleaner that were not showing in the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Now, when I click on Add/Remove Windows Components, I get a Dialog Box pop up saying:
"Setup was unable to open information file hide.
Contact your system administrator. The specific error code is 0x2 at line 2088999411."
....following by a second Dialog Box saying:
"The application could not be initialized."
Is there something I could do to fix this?
Thanking you in advance,

More than likely they're components of a main application you've installed, for instance Kodak camera software creates allot of entries that are hidden however they're a part of the main application and removing them "may or will" break a portion of the main application.
Thank you Andavari for replying so fast!
Actually, I should have been clearer in my previous question.
What I would like to know is how do I "undo" the actions that I performed in that "tip" posted by Humpty.
I believe that tweak I did is preventing me from accessing "Add/Remove Windows Components".
Thanks again!
You reverse the steps!
What you changed to: ,,
You change back to: ,hide,
Too bad you didn't make a backup copy before changing things, which is a hint for in the future make a backup before following advice.
Thanks Andavari for your guidance and patience!
Will do as per your advice.
