I need to remotely uninstall games from windows 2000 boxes

[Guest]

To make a long story short, large number of windows 2000 machines deployed
with the games still on the machine. I had removed all the links to the
games after failing to delete the games themselves or uninstall them. Now,
that will not be enough. I have found several ways to remove the programs,
but I need to remove them from several hundred machines, without the end
users noticing before its done if at all possible. The goal here is to
remove it before more users discover they have the games, so going to each
machine in person will probably be out of the question. If something pops up
while its being removed thats no big deal. Does anyone know of a way this
can be done with active directory or login scripts. All machines are running
SP4.

Look into group policy to deny exectution of the files themselves?

Do you know any thing more specific about what I would look into? I am a
technician and I need to present my solution to my boss as complete as
possible. I do not work with the active directory myself, and do not have
much experience with it.

I'd post in m.p.windows.group_policy for help with this.
