normally, there is alot of crap in win2k you can't remove, something i noticed when moving from win98. but i found a way.
open c:\winnt\inf\sysoc.inf
it will have syntax somewhat like this:
blah blah blah,fart,poop,739,hide,7
somethin like that, anyways, remove the word "hide". dont remove the commas or anything else. so our example would now look like this:
blah blah blah,fart,poop,739,,7
do this to whatever you want in there. games, 'accessories', etc.
now save the file and close.
go to add/remove programs (appwiz.cpl at run box)
click add/remove windows components
now you can safely uninstall things that didnt appear here before.
neat.
PS: in XP it is the same, also you can use this to remove the PESKY msn messager, SAFELY! no hack! (err...if you dont consider this a hack)
