hiding icons in control panel

[Guest]

how can I hide selected icons in control panel?
is there any place to change the settings of control panel?

also, how can I hide programs of "Add/Remove programs" list?

You can do it with MS TweakUI.

Hi, if you are using pro use can use Local Policy. Make a mmc snap-in and
click - User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Conrol Panel. Enable
the Hide Specified Control Panel Applets and specify which ones you want
removed. Bit long winded but it works.
