We have different installers for product A , B , C , D
Now we have developed a pack installer which will install all of the products. what I did is , I created each product as a feature in the pack installer.

Now what I want is ,
how can I upgrade "A" or "B" or "C" Products with my pack installer?
"A" product has different product code and different upgrade code. for all other products also different.

Or how can I just remove entry from Add/Remove Programs without uninstalling the existing files and folders.
if any way is there.. does it effect any other ways?

Please let me know soon.

You could do this by making the new version a Major Upgrade, and adding Major Upgrade entries for each of the old installers.
Alternatively, look into MSI chaining. In this case you would keep the separate packages for A , B , C , D but install them in one transaction.
