All the Add/Remove programs are listed under the registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

If the program does not come with an uninstaller, take not of the uninstall string and write it down somewhere for future reference.

Trying to hide your porn from your girlfriend? :p

edit: I don't know why it's forcing a space in the "CurrentVersion" part of the string. There is no space there.
