Blank Icons in Add/Remove Pgms

[i_pedal]

I have several square grey icons in the Windows Components of the Add/Remove Programs app in Control Panel. They have no name or explanation, but have checks in the boxes next to 'em. One is 56MB the other 0MB and if you click on details of the 0MB one there are 4 or 5 more blank 0MB icons in the detail area.
Anybody got a clue what these are?
thanks,

Usually these appear after editing the file sysoc.inf (Removing the word "hide" to make hidden components visible in add/remove). They may stand for things like IIS, terminal server or com+ applications.
