You can also use Add/Remove to delete unwanted programs: When you start the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet and select Add/Remove Windows components, the system doesn't display all of the components because Windows doesn't want them uninstalled. However, you can change which components the system displays. Perform the following steps: Open the sysoc.inf file located in the %systemroot%inf folder. Go to the [Components] section. Locate the entry you want to make uninstallable and remove the word "hide." For example, for MSN Messenger Service, change the line msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 to msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7 Save the sysoc.inf file. Regards, Thomas (ttops)
