Add/Remove Windows Components runs amuck

[Guest]

When trying to access Add/Remove Windows Components the Wizard loads, but it
doesn't allow me to make any changes. It just loads, runs through the routine
of making changes (which I have not had to opportunity to make) and completes
the routine only giving me the option to click "Finish".

Is there a Sysoc.inf tweak that I can make to get it to behave properly?

Thanks much.

Saywut,

Try the SET PROGRAM ACCESS & DEFAULTS tool

Location:

%SystemRoot%\system32\control.exe appwiz.cpl @0,3

You can create a new shortcut with that path above if you cannot find the
Windows shortcut

Coder,

I am not sure of what you are suggesting with Set Program Access & Defaults.
It does not give me the options to do what I want to do (get rid of games,
etc.). Accessing the Add/Remove Windows Components from
%SystemRoot%\system32\control.exe appwiz.cpl @0,3 results in the same
behavior as posted below.
