I have removed the games link from the start menu but when I remove
the individual games from Windows either HP or MS immediately re-
install them. *It is beyond our sys admin.
How can I permanently delete them?


Hi, Mi Tasol

To remove the Games on Windows XP, do this:

- go to Start menu, Control Panel

- in Control Panel, run "Add/Remove Programs"

- in the Add/Remove applet, select "Add/Remove Windows Components" from
the left-hand panel;

- the Windows Component Wizard will be started;

- select Accessories and Utilities in the list of Components;

- press the Details button;

- you will see 2 subcomponents listed: Accessories, and Games;

- remove the check mark next to Games;

- press OK to return to the Wizard front panel;

- press Next; the games will be deleted;

- exit from the Wizard and applet.

Hope it helps,

Andrew
