Hide the Add/Remove Prg

20 New Member
Hi Experts,

Actually, If we install any application in XP we can see that in Add/Remove Program.

Now I want to hide one application which is already installed but not to show in
Add/Remove Program.

Can I do like this.

If possible plz tell me the whole process in detail.

Thanq in advance.

I use this trick:
After install, copy anything that app needs plus the app itself somewhere.
Remove using Add/Remove.
Put copy in the original place that you copied it from.
If icons are not right, use folder options to re-associate the file type (.ext) with the program. This works to fix the way IE7 handles PDF viewer (Adobe or Foxit).

There is a way to remove it from the registry...

I would backup your registry before making any modifications.

Open up your registry and go here: HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unin stall\

Click on the program you would like to remove from add or remove programs
Click Delete

This program should no longer appear in your Add or Remove Programs.

Great tip, thanks. This is also useful for the time when there is a pesky program that has been uninstalled or removed by hand and is stuck in Add/Remove Software.
