I am using Windows XP Professional and I recently completed in deleting Windows Messenger. Downloaded a Visual Basic file from a site, the method was created by a guy named Doug. Well here is the issue. To find information on how to delete Windows Messenger was easy (Google User) but couldnt find how to delete Windows Movie Maker. Is this possible? I never use it and it just sits there taking space. These are the things I have about Windows XP, its totally bloated and you cant delete some programs.
Yes, thats an option I have tested before, to unhide some programs. I just thought it was possible to do it another way. First time I tried this method I didnt succeed, will try it again though.
I didnt succeed the first time since this /inf folder is hidden by default. So I did unhide it and did all the proceedurs, and I got some programs that werent in the Add/Remove thing, but no Windows Movie Maker. I checked again to see if I had missed to delete the word hide in the file (with notepad) but no it wasnt there. I just want to delete this program since I never use it and its just taking space in my Windows XP. Cant believe Microsoft do these things. I mean I can a bit more in stuff of computers than an average person and I still cant figure out how to delete this program. Shouldnt be this hard anyways.
In your second link this says about the sysoc.inf file where you changed it using notepad so that hidden programs get showed in the Add/Remove option in Windows XP:
Sample sysoc.inf file: (Note all of them are listed here: MSN Explorer, Windows Movie Maker)
Does this mean its impossible to delete Windows Movie Maker?
