How to remove the updates from 'uninstall updates'


Hi all, my questions centers around the programs listed in:

Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Installed
Updates


There is a listing up recent updates here, with the option to uninstall
if I right click them. I would like to delete said entries (without
uninstalling the needed updates). I have successfully deleted the update
history by deleting C:\windows\SoftwareDistrubution\Datastore, but the
history really isn't fully deleted until this goes as well, hehe. Any
help would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: How to remove the updates from 'uninstall updates'

The registry where your uninstallable programs are listed is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall]

Be careful in there!
