Remnants in "Add/Remove Windows components"

[MoiMeme]

Hi,

having problem with WOrdpad have uninstalled / removed and reinstalled it

While doing, I notice that there are to bizarre entries in that list of Win
components:

two have no name, and are displayed only with an "icon" that is a grey
square on its angle (as for Media Center for exemple)
One has OKB place occupied, the other about 56. But that last one "details"
is not active, so I do not know what that is. I cannot uncheck that ( no
response to space bar or left click).
As for the O byte one, details show 4 items, Obytes size, which I can
uncheck ( but respoinse is not regular : have totry often in order to
uncheck). Anyway didi it, but main entry in firts level dialog remains there
with its O size and no name .

Any idea ?
Can I somwhere remove this entry ????

TIA

Those settings are stored in a file called sysoc.inf located here:

%WinDir%\inf\sysoc.inf
(C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf)
