IE/OE not on add/remove programs list

I used to be able to run a repair on IE/OE through the control
panel/add-remove function however MS IE/OE is no longer listed on that
display. A system restore does not bring it back either. IE/OE are working
OK as is but I would like to have that repair option available in case of
future problems instead of having to completely remove/reinstall. I have
kept up to date on all security patches (and have not been infected with any
worms, viruses, etc.) and am wondering if the removal of these programs from
the add-remove programs list is connected in some way with the updates, or
maybe something else is corrupt? Running OEM XP home with AMD processor and
Biostar MB...
