So, after a bit more digging, I found that two that were
listed in the web start cache but not the Windows
add/remove. The only consistent thing between them
was that they did not suggest a desktop icon or menu
item.
..could you please post two of your
deployment descriptors, one from a program that doesn't get added to
add/remove, and one that does.
Not included in Win. add/remove programs.

If my latest theory is correct, it is the inclusion of..
<shortcut online="false">
<desktop/>
</shortcut>
..in the second launch file that makes the difference.
