How can I uninstall hidden Windows components? November 14, 2006

A. When you start the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet and select Add/Remove Windows components, the system doesn’t display all of the components because Windows doesn’t want them uninstalled. However, you can change which components the system displays. Perform the following steps:

1. Open the sysoc.inf file located in the %systemroot%\inf folder.
2. Go to the [Components] section.
3. Locate the entry you want to make uninstallable and remove the word “hide.” For example, for MSN Messenger Service, change the line

   msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
   
   

   to

   msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7 
   
   

4. Save the sysoc.inf file.
