twist Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 there is a xml file somewhere in windows that lists which programs to hide. look for how to uninstall messanger, then do the opposite for aim, that might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Look under the following key in REGEDIT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall There should be a Key named AIM or something like that, delete it That will prevent it from showing (of course you can still uninstall it) in the Add/Remove Programs list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Get JV16 PowerTools and you can delete registry entries, which can later be restored if you wanna unhide them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
