add/remove accessories

[Alex Johnson]

I'd like to be able to add/remove accessories and crap that comes as
part of windows, but the programs are hidden from me in the add/remove
windows components part of Control Panel. For example, Wordpad. How do
I get this to show up as a windows component and remove it? I searched
the registry and did not find any suspicous keys related to "wordpad".
I remember someone telling me there is a key or file that has something
like "hidden = 1" and I need to remove that....

What harm did Wordpad ever do to anybody?
