Got it to check for something, but it's been going for TWO HOURS!!! No "X", no button, nada.... my mom is not computer savvy and thinks that shutting down a computer will cause all of her stuff to go (becuase her "calculator does that"...oh boy) anyway to do this without giving my mom a heart attack?
Ctrl+alt+delete and go to the processes tab and shut down explorer.exe then go to the applications tab and press new task and start explorer.exe. the add/remove window should be gone. If not then you should tell your mom to cover her eyes while you restart :)

Hmm that is very interesting. Most likely the only solution is tor restart then. Show this document to your mom http://www.escotal.com/memory.html) and explain to her that anything she puts on the hard drive is there permanently (even if deleted) and that if you restart the computer her files will all still be there.
