In the add/remove components list, how do I hide the "Networking Services"
and the "Other Network File and Print Services"?
 
See the instructions here...

Remove Hidden Programs in XP
http://www.mvps.org/ecvogel/kb/XP_remove_progs.htm

Read the whole thing, then...

Instead of removing hide, you need to add hide to one line in the SYSOC.INF
file.

WARNING!
Before modifying the SYSOC.INF file, save a copy in different folder (other
than %windir%\inf )so you can restore/replace the original SYSOC.INF file if
you goof something up.
WARNING!

The following line is the Network Optional Component Installer...

NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7

Add hide so the line reads...

NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,hide,7,

That should HIDE the following:
Networking Services:
Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client
IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall
Peer-to-Peer
RIP Listener
Simple TCP/IP Services
Universal Plug and Play

Other Network File and Print Services:
Print Services for Unix

And will probably also HIDE the following:
Management and Monitoring Tools, Networking Services, Simple Network
Management Protocol, WMI SNMP Provide, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS),
Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), File
Services for Macintosh, Print Services for Macintosh, Network Monitor Tools,
QoS Admission Control Service, Connection Manager Components, Internet
Authentication Service and COM Internet Services Proxy.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

The line NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,hide,7
didn't hide the two I mentioned, only the Management and Monitoring tools.
Is there anything wrong?
