Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Allow the installer to add an option to hide itself from progrma list
**Describe the solution you'd like**
As some other programs like Prey, to be able to install for example into Windows system folder and disable the program to be shown for example in tray and programs data (so uninstall could be more difficult even with admin rights), these way wwhen I share my laptops I can always get access to remote help the users who are currently using them and also make the app more persistant as an option (to maybe install as even higher privileges so they cannot stop services or something)
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
So far, nothing, or adding a different app that can maybe require a password to run a uninstaller
**Additional context**
Nothing really, just to have options to make the software even more persistant and not so easy to remove so I can have my device tracked if needed
