Actually all that you need to do is go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to
this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Local the program in question in the left pane. In the right pane, right
click DisplayName and select rename: Add Quiet so it will read:
QuietDisplayName.
No reboot or refresh needed. Open Add or Remove - the listing is now gone.
To revert, rename back to DisplayName.
