I need help. I would like to remove the GAMES option from the ACCESSORIES choice in the ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS icon in the control panel. I purchase computers with WIN 95 preinstalled for work. They have the CABS on the hard drive, and I would like to keep them there. Please help me find a way to remove this option from the registry.

don't have your exact answer. But, here's a tip that may lead you in the right direction. Although, this one is for NT.


How do I prevent games from being installed with Windows NT?
To prevent the installation of Freecell, Minesweeper, and Solitaire during an over the network install:
Expand Syssetup.in_ Syssetup.inf
Ren Syssetup.in_ Syssetup.org

Edit the Syssetup.inf file and locate the [BaseWinOptionsInfs] section. Add a ; in front of the games.inf entry (so it looks like ;games.inf).

You can do the same for Pinball.inf.

This is procedure is generic. Adding a semi-colon in front of wordpad.inf prevents it from being installed, adding a semi-colon in front of msmail.inf prevents the Exhange client from being installed, etc.
