Since the day I started using Uninstall Tool I found it strange that no launcher software (Launchy, Find and Run Robot, Keypirinha etc) or the windows search button could find Uninstall Tool's shortcut upon installation. I always had to make a new shortcut for it to work.
After contacting the developer of KeyPirinha about it he shortly came back with an answer. Turns out that the "i" character in the "Unistall Tool" shortcut is NOT an actual ASCII character, it's actually a Cyrillic Small Letter Byelorussian-Ukrainian i (codepoint U+0456).
Thank you for the report. I thought noone would ever find this thing. It's done intentionally to allow Windows pin this shortcut to the taskbar, if you replace 'i' with normal 'i' - you will not be able to pin this shortcut.
As a workaround can you please use an alternative letter for "l" in "uninstall" so that it makes searching for the shorcut easier? When using a launcher application such as Launchy you usually type out only the first few letters and the result will popup.
So changing the last letter of the word will not affect the situation. For example something like the Greek capital "Ι" which looks identical to the English "l" when filenames are concerned.
So I assume this registry key can be easily edited to remove any of the restricted keywords (can't test since I don't have a win 7 machine at the moment).
What do you say if during installation Unistall Tool modified and removed the offending "install" keyword from the registry key? Even Microsoft realized how dumb this was and removed the restriction from windows 10 so I don't think it would be a problem.
