Hi there, can I uninstall all those ugly programs thar Windows XP places in te "Program Files" folder, such as NetMeeting, Outlook, Messenger or the latest version of the Windows Media Player (I use 6.4 only)... and what for are some folders like "xerox" wich are empty?
Thanx in advance.
I have XP with SP1 installed, i think this affects, since XP with no sp1, dont let to remove some components. Anyway, here is how. You go to control panel, then to add remove programs and then windows compnents. You can find windows media player there, outlook express, msn explorer, msn messenger, and other uselss things like games, etc. However, i repeat. MSN msessenger was hidden to be removed under xp with no sp1, so you might not be able to remove those apps by that way, if you dont have sp1 installed.
Btw, i dont have a xerox folder, maybe you isntalled an app and it left it out there.
good luck
Mmm I know that editing "sysoc.sys" (is it correct?) by deleting "HIDE" parameter at each line, I can seee some of the programs in the control panel so that I can unistall them, but not all... I'm using the spanish version of Windows and really load of crap comes with it, including silly folders like"xerox" wich I can delete.
Maybe I shoud try instaling SP1...
Anyway, thanks a lot.
yeah, try getting sp1, since it allows to remove applications as msn messenger, internet explorer, windows media player, and more useless microsoft ****. Otherway, it involves registery tweaking.
good luck.
