to folders like: C:\Program Files\... Internet Explorer (yah yah i know...) microsoft frontpage movie maker MSN Gaming Zone NetMeeting outlook express xerox C:\Documents and Settings\... ANYTHING!

: Has anyone been successful in removing unwanted folders? I'm referring to folders like: C:\Program Files\... Internet Explorer (yah yah i know...) microsoft frontpage movie maker MSN Gaming Zone NetMeeting outlook express xerox Some or all of those are "system critical files", according to Microsoft, so you can delete them but they come right back, like a dog to its vomit. It stretches my credulity pretty far to believe that MSN Gaming Zone is essential to the functioning of my computer. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/

Some or all of those are "system critical files", according to
Microsoft, so you can delete them but they come right back, like a dog to its vomit. Yah i know but i figured someone here must have figured out a registry hack or setup file hack that would make these annoyances go away. Thanks anyway! It stretches my credulity pretty far to believe that MSN Gaming Zone is essential to the functioning of my computer. Umm... right...

Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Add/Remove Components (from the left vertical bar). Then uncheck any Component (additional program) like Outlookexpress, MSN Gaming....... Then click next to continue with the wizard..... -------------------- NEO

Then click next to continue with the wizard..... Ok Neo, i did try that after i removed the word hide from one of the other files. No joy. I know this is trivial but i try to keep a non cluttered harddrive and if the folder isn't used it's outta here... Thanks for the help Neo!
