How to Remove unwanted programs from your pc

If you want to remove some additional programs from your pc that are installed with windows but are not initially visible or remove in Add / Remove, edit a file called by the:----


"C:\WINDOWS\INF\SYSOC.INF".

In there you will find a listing of programs, and you will note that some programs have the word 'hide' at the end. Simply remove the word 'hide' but leave the extra comma:

BEFORE:msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

AFTER:msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7

Now when you open Add-Remove Windows Components, you will see a new choice, in this example, "Windows Messenger"
