Anyone know how to delete or disable the win2k Pro games? Solitare, Minesweeper etc... I've tried everything I know and they won't delete. Windows doesn't even have an option in the add/remove windows components window. I've tried deleting the exe files right out of the system folder but they just re-appear after being deleted. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks in advance.

Go into add/remove programs. Find either a tab that says "Windows Components" or a button that says Add/Remove windows components and click on it. Once it comes up look at the details of Accesories. Games should be in there and all you have to do is uncheck the box next to it.

I realized that. I wanted to post the whole instruction set for anyone else who was having the same problem. Notice I also said:

av8er, here is some advice you can actually use...

Microsoft decided that in Win2k, they don't want you uninstalling certain Windows components. Therefore, these components are hidden in the "Add/Remove Windows Components" window.

To unhide them, open the SYSOC.INF file in your c:\windows\inf folder. (It may be c:\winnt\inf depending on your installation.) It will open in Notepad.

In that file, delete the word "HIDE" anywhere you see it. You can simplify this with a "Find and replace" command in Notepad.

Save the file and open the "Add/Remove Windows Components" window again. You should now see all the components that were hidden before.



I love you all. I love you more than life itself... But you're all fucking mad.

Are you out of your effin mind? Don't you know that's "Captain Notepad" that you're talkin' to? You don't need to waste his time and, more importantly, mine by posting these things that are so obvious to even the notepad amateur. :-D

See? Told ya I was bored...

This might help




Don’t get me wrong, I am not fighting to uphold the restraints that give protection to rights fully accrued upon facts so nearly permanent as to be substantially impervious to change, rather I am for the supervision of changing conduct or conditions and are thus provisional or tentative.

You're welcome av8er.

How did you find that out?

There are many good Win2k tweak guides available on the Internet. One is here. That site also has a lot of other, more specific tweak guides for various hardware and software.

Actually I am running Win2k on my laptop, 2k server on one PC and XP Pro on two others. I helped Av8er on IM to disable access to them through GPedit. I have never run into them not being on the add/remove windows components list before though. I posted the instructions that would help all users of the Windows operating system.

And before you ask... yes I am Network + certified and am in progress on my MCSE.
