I think this is useful for users who wants to hide or not to display the name of a program in Add/Remove Programs. One advantage is to avoid users to uninstall programs. This is for malilikot na mga kamay. I always advice my friends and aquiantances that if they want to avoid users from uninstalling programs then remove the program from the list in the Start Menu as well as in Add/Remove Programs. In this way, we are preventing them to uninstall programs.

Here’s how to hide a program from “Add/Remove Programs”:
1. Start > Run > Type “regedit”
2. Navigate this path below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3. Click the folder of a program that you want to remove from the “Add/Remove Programs” list.
4. Find the “DisplayName” and modify and erase the Value Data.
5. Click OK.

That’s it!
