removing 3d Screen Saver

[DanB]

how do I uninstall the 3d Screen savers from an XP
computer? I know on a 9.X or ME computer I can use add
remove programs|windows components|gl screen savers...I
do not seem to have that option in XP.I would also like
to remove the games. Finally if you know how to do this
in 2000 Pro, that would be great also.

Thanks
Dan

Getting rid of the games is easy. Go to Add\remove
programs, Add/remove windows components, double-click on
accessories, and uncheck "Games". As for getting rid of the
screen savers, I am not sure.

Games are removed from Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components, Accessories.

Screen savers have to be deleted manually, and you need to remove them from
the Windows\System32\dllcache folder and the Windows\System32 folder, in
that order. When XP warns you that system files are missing, tell it not to
replace them.
