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

Hello, You are welcome.
Pinball seems to be setup in a different way.
In C:\program files\windowsnt\pinball (a folder).
Then in C:\windows\inf and C:\windows\help
Finally in C:\windows\system32\dllcache is the
back up .exe for pinball.

I use a free program to locate items in Windows.
It is faster and does a more complete search,
then the Windows search feature.
Agentransack (free version).

take care.

Hi Beamish -

Thank you for the clarifying data on where Pinball is buried and for
the tip on the better Find program. I find myself doing in Windows
exactly what I did over the years in Macintosh: discovering and
adding terrific freeware programs that beat the pants off their
equivalent that comes with the operating system.

One of the Mac equivalents of Agentransack <don't like the ransack
part of that name!> is NotLight, meaning not Searchlight, Searchlight
being the native Apple search utility. It's buggy and doesn't find
everything. NotLight finds everything.

Again, thanks for the help.

Hello, You are welcome.
A thought concerning Windows OS.
Do to the abundance of nefarious software, would suggest
three (3) areas for research.
Backup capability, maintenance and security.
take care.
