Add your name to system clock.


Click start/control panel/change date,time or number format.

On the formats tab click customize this format button.

Under time tab you see listed Time format 18: 10: 25.

Ok well make it look like this:18: 10: 25-ABC as an example.

In the AM and PM tabs you can make them look like this AM-Jelly Bean,PM-Jelly Bean.

You can choose upto 12 letters in each field.

Click apply and exit.

Works for XP also.

Hide selective programs/applications listed in Add/Remove:




Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

Locate 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.
