Making "Change and Remove Option" Hidden

Windows Operating System have a default built in tools that we can use to manage our installation or install or uninstall software in the computer. The usual tools and the fastest is through this steps. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add remove Programs and we presented with window that contained 3 (three) main functions.

• Change or Remove Programs ( Change or Un-install Software )
• Add New Programs ( Install New Software )
• Add Remove Windows Component ( Add or remove Windows Component )

Now, the issue is “ if someone use your computer , and go to this section and try to “un-installing” your Software ? “ ( by accident or not). Would it be safe that someone who use your computer can’t access to this windows section..?

This is one way to prevent that from happen and to make the “Change or Remove Programs” section Hidden.

1. Click “START” then “RUN”
2. Type “REGEDIT” in the pop up window box.
3. Go to or select “HKEY_CURRENT _USER then select SOFTWARE then select MICROSOFT then select WINDOWS then select CURRENT VERSION then select POLICIES then select UNINSTALL.. I assume , maybe the “UNINSTALL folder doesn’t exist ( so, we create one ) use Right Click button on the Mouse and on the pop up window select “NEW” then choose “KEY”. On the “New Key Name” type “Uninstall”.
4. After that click on “EDIT Menu” then choose “NEW” then select “DWORD Value”. Give it name “NoRemovePrograms”.
5. Then “Right Click” on the “NoRemovePrograms” Dword Value and then select “Modify” then change the number from”0” to “1”.

Restart the computer and Check if the “Change or Remove Programs” still visible or not.
