Lots of programs leave the name in that list when they are uninstalled, so software like TweakUI has been developed to fine tune Windows.

If DisplayName is used the program should be listed in Add or Remove
Programs (appwiz.cpl). If QuietDisplayName is used, the program will *not* be listed. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SomeProgramName Rename the String Value DisplayName to QuietDisplayName. -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

TweakUI, wonderful tool that it is, has no options for Add or Remove
Programs. Other than hiding appwiz.cpl (Add or Remove Programs) from the Control Panel. -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes MS-MVP Windows Shell/User In news

Hey Wesley.
I was misleading. The link http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article05-009 describes how to use Regedit to accomplish this task. It also says that TweakUI can be used, but I did not investigate further. Thanks and have a great day.
