.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / March 2007hiding the "add/remove programs" icon
hi there, is there anything that i can set in the registry (or otherwise) to hide this icon? thanks, Paul While it's possible to hide many settings applets by adding a string registry value called Redirect beneath the appropriate key (e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Beam) the Remove Programs item doesn't have a key, and adding keys for RemovePrograms or Remove Programs doesn't have any effect.

I will consider that one too. thanks, Paul > If your intention is not to allow handheld user to uninstall your > application or the dependencies, try using WCELoad.exe with / [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> >> - Show quoted text - Hi Peter, yes thats why i specifically asked, as i managed to hide the "Clear Storage" button by changing the Group value to something like 999 and it is removed from the Settings tab. regards, Paul > While it's possible to hide many settings applets by adding a string > registry value called Redirect beneath the appropriate key (e.g. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> thanks, >> Paul Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
