A simple suggestion for the Uninstall feature:
I believe it would be better if "double clicking" on a program in this list executed the Run Uninstaller process instead of Rename Entry, as it is now. More coherent with what is default in most applications.

Double click to uninstall (not to rename..)

An accidental rename is easy to undo.
An accidental Uninstall could be catastrophic

... which is very true, still I do not think most users manoeuvre into this specific tool group unless they have already planned something which will have its consequences.
And don't forget Microsoft Windows' default action in their version of the uninstalling tool (not favouring Microsoft -- simply referring to a widely used OS)

I'll admit I usually double click the stuff, expecting to uninstall, only to be prompted to rename it. Conditioning from appwiz.cpl, I suppose.
