Thanks for this. I often install programs for one-time use and sometimes I get too lazy to uninstall them. It really agitates me for some reason when I open up the start menu > programs (already cluttered as it is) and see ten or twelve randomly highlighted entries. Hopefully this will fix that.

Here is a even simpler solution (by my opinion of course): - Right click on Start button
- Click on Properties in the right-click popup menu to open up the Properties window
- Select Advanced Tab (you should find it below the title bar)
- Deselect the "Highlight newly installed programs" checkbox
- Press OK and off you go
