My work computer is running XP Home. Some co-workers recently cleaned out my computer of all "unnecessary" programs... i.e. AIM, Yahoo IM, MSN, K++, iTunes... and so on. Anyone know of a way that I can have these programs installed and leave little or no record of it? I was planning to hide the Program Files folders, but I would also need a way to hide their entries in the Add/Remove Programs page. I found a program called TweakAll which allows you to remove hidden programs from Add/Remove Programs, but couldn't figure out how to hide a program in the list. Any help would be appreciated.
