When you click the application you wish to uninstall in Add/remove programs under control panel you need to reset the folder views in vista. Follow these steps.

1. Open RegEdit
2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\
3. Remove Bags registry key
4. Remove BagMRU registry key
5. Close RegEdit
6. Log off, restart
7. Login and go to folder options, make sure remember each folder's view settings
8. Restart computer.

This 8 steps is quite simple. I found the solution on this blog.
