How to remove a program from the add/remove program list

It is possible, run regedit and navigate to this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

When you click in the left window pane on what looks like garbled letters/numbers the right pane will show a value (DisplayName) amongst others, to the right of this is what is held in the "Add/Remove" window. Simply delete that key.

WARNING - If your'e not happy altering keys in Regedit then DON'T, you can make your computer unusable, also it could make it awkward to uninstall in the future if it hasn't it's own uninstall feature.
