I am a freecell addict. Following MS directions to delete
it from Windows XP doesn't seem to work.
I've gone through this before but can't remember the
sequence. Can anyone out there help
 
start button...
1-Control Panel
2-Add or Remove Programs
3-SINGLE pick: Add/Remove Windows Components (button on
left column)
4-[X]Accessories and Utilities (highlight and pick
[Details] button)
5-[X]Games (highlight and pick [Details] button)
6-make desired changes ([X] to add or [_] to delete)
7-pick [Ok] out of Games
8-pick [Ok] out of Accessories
9-pick [Next ->] to get Windows Components Wizard
10-Configuring Components [slider ->]
11-Components Wizard window pick [Finish] button
check start button - all programs - games
 
I have done all that. It makes the games section
disappear, but when I search for freecell, it pops up
again.

I went through this with an earlier Windows version and
someone was able to tell me how to go in and remove it
from system 32.

You have any ideas?

The games included with Windows XP are "system" files. You can remove them
from the listing, but deleting the actual file invokes the XP
self-preservation instinct and it restores them. That's a difference
between Windows XP and the Win9x line.
