How to Remove a Programs Entry(Name) From "Add or Remove Programs" or "Programs and Feature"

In windows, in the control panel there is a program which is used to manage your installed programs on your computer. With this we can view or remove applications from compute. In windows XP, it is called “Add or Remove Programs” and in windows 7 it is called “Programs and Features”. The softwares which are installed manually on windows are listed in it. If we remove or uninstall any program from computer, then their names are removed from this application manager.

Now come to two terms.
1. Some times after removing a program, the name(entry) of the program will exist. Its a problem of registry. Because though you removed the program, its name is left in registry.

2. We may have to manually remove the name of any installed program from “add or remove programs” without uninstalling the program. Because you may wish to hide its name. So this term is, “How to hide any software or program name from ‘add or remove programs’ without uninstalling or removing it from computer”

Now if you want to do any of above two terms, you have to edit registry. So far I discussed that installed program names are stored on registry. Editing the windows registry settings is confusing, risky and hard to remember. So you have to use a program called “addremovecleaner.exe” which will list you the installed softwares on your system. And you can remove(hide)/clean up those names by using it. It actually edits registry.

  • The next time I read a website, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

  • Your website is fine. I just want to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I think is really important. I don't know if you didnt suppose that your words could hold everyones attention, but you were wrong.

Your vehicle will search a whole lot far better with the flooring mats, even though safeguarding it at the same time. The variety of protection that would function best for a truck that is being used for large duty perform would be the thick rubber floor mats. These rubber mats resist stains extremely effectively, and are not challenging to clean; they can be rinsed with water hose as extended as you clear them whilst spills are refreshing. Following hosing them down and letting them air dry or drying them with a towel you're all set to set them back again within your truck.
