By modifying the registry to hide installed software on your computer, this method causes the uninstall list to fail to load the installed software, so be careful!
Tip: After deleting the registry, Windows comes with the uninstall program, the other software comes with the uninstall software feature can not find this software, so the computer is not very familiar with friends please ignore this article!
In the "Programs and features" item in the control Panel of the Win7 system, "Uninstall or change the program" is the most thorough place where we want to uninstall a program.
However, many times in order to prevent the installation of their own programs not to be uninstalled, we would like to be able to "uninstall or change the program" does not show some of the installed programs, or "Uninstall or change the program" in the removal of some of the options to remove the need to start.
Hide programs in uninstall or change programs
Click to open the Run dialog box on the Start menu, where you can enter Regedit to start the Registry Editor.
Then select
Hkey_local_machin--software--wow6432node--microsoft--windowds--currentversion--uninstall,
There are many children under the uninstall in the registry, and we can see that each subkey actually corresponds to an installed program, and if you want to simply select it and right-click it, select the Delete command in the popup menu to delete it.
(If you are unfamiliar with the operation, please back up before deleting, so as not to recover after the mistake.)
How to do this: Right-click on the uninstall item and select "Export" from the pop-up menu to back up the branch's registration options to a reg file, so we don't have to worry about it. )
