well like most times I need to do something quickly I tend to make it into a tool I (and maybe others) could/will use again..

tried to debug some programs and wanted a way to access, "for real", the uninstall section,
yeah yeah you've got 3rd parties such as ccleaner..

the problem is Windows 11 hides everything under explorer and pin-pointing the window using process explorer,
isn't really useful since the sections are "created".

here are most ways of calling the uninstall and remove programs.

calling good old control manually from start run, then navigating to the section manually.

	"use strict";

	//note: wrap it however you like ;) no dependencies.
	//javascript base64 pretty fast using pre calculated reverse lookup for decoding. string input string output. modern aproach no escape/unescape/encodeURIComponent/decodeURIComponent.
