To add additional components to the Add/Remove Programs list (Windows
Components):
Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden Files and Folders and Show Extensions
for known file types. Then go to Windows Explorer/Inf Folder/Sysoc.inf
(Double Click it). You will find several lines that include the word 'hide'.
Simply remove the word 'hide' (but leave the comma). Save and exit. From
there you will be able to remove it from add/remove.
Add and Remove - Show All Files
Windows XP doesn't let you add or remove all the programs it installs by
default. Multimedia applications, the XP messenger, games, accessories, and
accessibility options do not show up in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box.
What if you want to get rid of them? Here's how to make Windows treat these
applications just like it treats all the others.
on your c: Go to Windows Explorer/Inf. In the right pane, scroll down to
sysoc.inf, double click it. Scroll down to:
MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7
The word "HIDE" in an entry hides that application from your Add/Remove
Programs dialog box. To add games to the Add/Remove menu, delete the word
HIDE from its entry (but leave the commas that surround it). You also have to
remove "HIDE" from "AccessUtil=" for this tip to work.
Save the file. Check for the new entries in the Add/Remove Programs dialog
box after you restart your computer.
scroll down to the "
after you unhide it go back and choose it and all should be well soon
