You may want to hide one or more entries added by software setup(s) in Add/Remove Programs (also known as “Programs and Features”, “Uninstall a Program”, “Add or Remove Programs” ) under Windows,There can be several reasons for this
1. You do not want anybody to know the program is installed on computer.
2. You do not want somebody uninstall it.
3. The app is already removed but the entry left in the list.
It’s also good for security or privacy purpose, but How do you remove an item from the app list without uninstalling it?
There is a simple trick used to hide programs from your parents, friends, or family. For example, you share a computer with your parents and you do not want them to know you have a Program installed. You can hide programs in Programs and Features in Windows manually according to the microsoft.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and click the following registry key , back it up ( click the Uninstall registry key, click Export Registry File on the Registry menu)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3. Each key under Uninstall represents a program that appears in Add/Remove Programs
4. Under DisplayName value data , Identify the registry key that represents the program that is in Add/Remove Programs, right-click the key, and then click Delete.But this way seems tedious therefore we have coded a portable Freeware Application to simplify the whole process
How to use “Hide From Uninstall List” Application
1. After unzipping, run the program , you will see all the installed programs on the list
2. There are two ways To hide an installed Application

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS
When I start the tool the first time, I see A LOT of HIDDEN entries, old software that has long been uninstalled.
This is very confusing.
As soon as you start hiding applications, you will never be able to detect what is REALLY installed and what is some remnant.
Any way to change this?
Thanks Robert.
I love you guys for developing this. Like I literally cannot thank you enough
In which code is this written. I would like to see how it works.
Could I ask you to create an application that will protect the selected file from being deleted? Like the FileProtection utility Web Link …
I would be happy to see such a convenient application in the style of Sordum:
1) simple (without unnecessary settings);
2) visual (with the designation of the file lock on the file icon;
3) informative (containing a list of files blocked from deletion (and modification).
It seems to me that such an application would be a success with Windows users.
