Hide Programs in Add or Remove Programs List

[Guest RAH]

I have a large number of programs shown in the Add or Remove Programs

list that don't have a selection block to remove, or an indication of

program size. They are just cluttering up the list. How can I remove

and/or hide these?

 

I thought TweakUI might have a way to do it, but couldn't find

anything in there about the Add or Remove Programs list.

 

Windows XP Pro SP3

Download CCleaner. You can do what you want using that.

Interesting. Didn't know that. I actually use CCleaner. Will take a

look. Thanks.

I tried it on several of them. They all return the same error

message, "Cannot delete MSI installer."

Can you manually edit them out of the registry (using regedit)? That won't

remove the programs, obviously, but it could remove them from the list

(assuming it's stored there similarly as it is in Win9x, and not in some

other database)

If the MSI Damaged or corrupt CCleaner will not be able to uninstall the

Applications.

Did you tried to reinstall the Applications again and see if that will get

the New UNWISE.exe for that App to uninstall?.

 

There is another way but it will be hard like weeding these Apps from the

Windows Explorer and the registry, please can you tell us what these Apps

are?.

Read this info here:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

Try this MSI download :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&displaylang=en

If the above didn't help and no other helper come with the answer I will get

you the Registry Steps with the Windows explorer Tomorrow and how to remove

the Icons from the Add/Remove programs Control panel.

HTH.

My problem is that I can't really identify where these entries came

from. Here is a list of everything without a size or uninstall

option. Some are pretty obscure.

All the above a suite for HP software managements, if this Suite corrupted

or damaged, it will be hard to uninstall it, but you can uninstall manually

or see HP site for instruction on how to remove it.

Did you make sure the system is clean and no malware or viruses on the system.

Also, are you able to install programs and uninstall them other than those

Apps?.

Thanks. I will try these ideas. I do have an HP 3210xi All-In-One so

guess that is the source of the problem.
