This registry modifications allows you to set restrictions for
the current user or Pc wide in Add/Remove programs.To apply them
you need to mofify/create the entrys under the subkey below:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall\ (for the current user)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall\ (Pc wide)
If here is no Uninstall subkey in the left pane under Policies you need to create
it.(right click on Policies,new,key - name the key:Uninstall)
Note:The subkey Uninstall did not exist on my XP.Thats why i write down above
how to create it.I did not test it further from here,as i do not want to apply
any Add/Remove restrictions on my PC.Don't forget to export the Policies
subkey before you continue,to be able to roll back your actions !!
Now add/modify for the subkey Uninstall the necessary entries in the right
pane.(click the subkey Uninstall once and create the entries in the right
pane as a REG_DWORD [DWord Value] : do a right click on free space in
the right pane , new , REG_DWord [DWord Value] and name them as
described on the next page.You need to create a new entry for each
restriction).
