Easy...when you know how. Go to Control Panel Add or Remove Programs
* Add/Remove Windows Components.

Hi Leonard -

I found my way to this, but it failed to remove the games.

I clicked on the Add/Remove Windows Components and got the Windows
Components Wizard.

I selected Accessories and Utilities Details Games, and then
checked the box for Games, then OK, then Next and the Wizard ran and
finished with the message that I had successfully completed the
Wizards Component Wizard.

However, when I navigate to All Programs Games then choose one of
the games, the game opens.

It's still there.

See anything I am going wrong???

Again, many thanks for your help and patience.
Carl

Hello,
I beleive the first six games are internet links to on-line games.
In the correct area but I beleive you should uncheck not check.
Click on the "details" button after you highlight games, another
page will open with a list of each game, uncheck each game then "ok".
Then uncheck "games" then ok. Continue to use "ok" until you clear
out of Windows Components.
Please excuse my butting in, hope you do not mind.
take care.

Hmmm. There are some /very/ fundamental differences between Windows
and Macs that are /most/ puzzling to an old brain like mine.

You were right, Beamish, I had to /uncheck/ those boxes, not check
them.

In the Mac OS, you would have had to /check/ them in a situation such
as that.

The only one that hasn't been deleted is Pinball. It did not show up
in the list proferred in Add/Remove tool

Thanks for the help,
Carl
