'Add/Remove Programs' always seems to work. 
Some apps I've seen have a Vault type deal that you can secure files in and password protect them.
One I've seen is 'Stratengos' or something like that can't remember how to spell it , Sorry.  | |

I think you can click on the file and go to properties and click hide.
then you have to go to tools, folder options, view, then go down to hidden folders and click the one you want.
