Uninstalling games

[Guest]

WinXP Media Center Edition: I'd like to uninstall all the games that come
with the OS (too much temptation!), but the only option seems to be to
uninstall all the accessories. I want to keep all the accessories except the
games. I've tried deleting the sol.exe file, for example, from
\Windows\system32\ and from \i386\, but the files keep getting restored
somehow. Is there a safe way to remove only the games?

Hi,

Go to Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove/.../Windows Components.
Under Components, double click: Accessories and Utilities and uncheck
Games.
Ok your way out.

Hi, Kelly-

This is a confusing dialog box. It says "To add or remove a component, click
the check box." Since both accessories and games are already added, it's not
clear whether it's going to keep the checked box (accessories and utilities)
or remove it.

If it removes the wrong component, how would I reinstall it? I don't have a
Windows disk, just a recovery CD from Dell.
