i just had a look at the group policy snap-in in mmc and i don't see an option for this in the add/remove programs section

edit-

ok here's how you do it:

in the registry, go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

look for the programs you want to hide

for each one, edit the DisplayName value, adding "Quiet" before the program name, i.e. iTunes ---> QuietiTunes

they will be gone from the add/remove list

usual registry warnings, etc ;-)
