win2000 errors with reg keys...

[tama2112]

I try to goto add and remove programs and the list is empty and
nothing is there. I did get a few reg. key errors and tried to fix them
by doing the following I found on MS tech net. But only 1 fix worked and I
still cant see the add/remove programs list.
Also I use VNC to log into this win2000 server to
do maintenance and normally it works fine but anytime
I try to left click any desktop icons all it does it show me
the properties of that icon...??

Sounds to me like you deleted some critical registry keys. You may be out of luck. I searched on Microsoft's site for you, and did some googling, I turned up nothing, sorry.
