In Windows 95 the "Uninstall" list is kept in the Registry at:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
It sounds like your Registry got corrupted and these entries were lost. If
you are comfortable with editing the registry you may want to see if there
are "correctable" errors in the registry at this location. What I would
really fear is that other more critical stuff in the registry was lost when
it got corrupted.
Note that there are utilities that will remove items from the Uninstall
list, notably TweakUI. I presume that you did not monkey around with these
programs about the same time you lost the entries.
