No, you'll end up corrupting your Windows XP installation.

That is a most excellent site going over the various .dll's and such in
windows. I found a few that I had missed being needed by oe/wab and wmp!!!

It worked for the things I had tried, however I found that most system
components didn't have an unistall string. It was more like a reinstall
string

To remove messenger
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Don't know about the help service or recycle bin. I do have an idea for
outlook express / windows address book combination. I am currently
working on windows media player and movie maker...

Done ;^)
 
Hey Carey Frish I have not got any problems after using the Uninstall
strings in Windows Registry ::::
