Is there any way to remove a program from the add/remove programs list in windows, but NOT actually remove it?

In other words you don't want the program listed in the Add/Remove programs list.  I don't know what purpose that would serve but okay why not.  Google has a number of results regarding this, http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=remove+program+from+add/remove+list&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 for programs that were uninstalled but Windows did not remove the program from the Add/Remove list.  Speaking of that, I don't know if those tweaks would allow the program to continue functioning or not.  Also, what would be the point of doing this?  It offers no benefit and does not make Windows run any faster and what would you do if you wanted to get rid of the program?  And now I understand (I just saw the details)... okay, let me think.\n\nWindows does not offer this feature (and personally I think your dad is a little nuts but that's neither here nor there) but anyway a program called X-Setup Pro will allow you to hide entries in the Add/Remove programs list without uninstalling the program, more here, http://www.x-setup.net/ and I have more bad news, it's not freeware.

It depends what the program is.  Add / Remove is the best option as it should delete pretty much all traces of the program.\n\nFailing that see if there's an option to uninstall.  Use Windows Explorer to path through to the folder where the program is - normally it will be c:&#92;program files&#92;name of program.\n\nLook for a file that's called uninstall, uninst or unwise - double click it and follow the on screen instructions to delete the program.\n\nFailing that you may need to manually delete the program but unless you know the location of all the files the chances are that some of it will remain on your hard-drive.

Sometimes the dregs of programs remain after you have removed them with add/remove. Now do the manual search like you have been. If the only thing that comes up is the icon try dragging it into your recycle bin or right click and delete. \n\nGo to your desk top, right click my computer, explore and go through the Program Files in Local disk and Program files under everyone elses accounts if there are other users on your computer. If you find the program you want to get rid of, right click and delete.\n\nThen go to desktop Start, Programs and look in there for the unwanted program. If you find it either drag into the recycle bin or right click and delete. \n\nIf you have a program such as System Mechanic it will search for any broken shortcuts and you can then deleted them. \n\nYou can also try deleting it in Safe Mode. When the computer is first turned on hold down the F8 key for a few moments and select Safe mode to start up in. A lot of maintenence can be done from there. Good luck

Go to start->control panel->add/remove programs and remove it from the list. another option is install a program called windows installer cleanup (assuming you have windows) and select it from the list. If it is not, do not uninstall anything on that list if you don't no what it is! click the link below and scroll down until you see the "DownloadDownload the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now" link which is in the middle of the page.

If is is not listed in Add/Remove Programs and still the application is running in the computer then we need to remove the program from Registry. All the programs install would be definitely listed in Registry.\n\nFollow the steps to un-install the program from Registry.\nThese steps involve Windows Registry modifications and hence I suggest you take a backup of the registry before applying the solution.\n\nRegistry Backup:\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.\n2. Click File on Registry menu and select Export to File option.\n3. Select the radio button beside “All” option.\n4. Give a file name (say regbackup) and save it onto the desktop.\n\nPlease follow the steps below to delet the program from Registry\n1. Click Start, Run and type regedit and hit enter to open Registry menu.\n2. Click "+" beside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.\n\n3. Click "+" beside Software .\n\n4. Click "+" beside Microsoft.\n\n5. Click "+" beside Windows.\n\n6. Click "+" beside CurrentVersion.\n\n7. Click "+" beside Uninstall.\n\nTry to find the program which you want to delete. After finding the program, Right-Click on the program and select Delete/Uninstall.\n\nAfter deleting the program, close the Registry Menu and restart the system.

If the program is currently running, you might not be able to remove it.  If you do not have administrative priviledges, you may not be able to remove it.  If you cannot, contact your system administrator.\n\nWhat is it you are trying to remove?
