Thanks to 'Dave' I've already done the following:
Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features -
in the left pane, "Turn Windows features on or off"
(continue)
(wait a while)
click on the + beside Games
uncheck the games
OK
Click to expand...

That was helpful! BUT, I really want to uninstall these Microsoft games...

How can I delete or completely uninstall the games?

I've almost decided to delete the folder. Will it do any harm if I delete
the 'microsoft game' folder?

I admit I am addicted to these "time waster" games and I know I
am NOT ALONE!

Thank you!
 
UnswoleLilDude, your link was NOT helpful it is exactly what I referred to
above thanks to 'Dave'.

But I appreciate your attempt and thanks for trying to help!

I want to UNINSTALL so that the games cannot be turned on by anyone,
including myself. :)

If you actually read the article, it provided the steps to reach the
dialog where you can uninstall the games.

I went back to read the article AGAIN, and AGAIN I found nothing about
UN-installing the Microsoft Games. Perhaps I am missing something? Or perhaps
there is a link on that page I missed (I looked at every one that seemed
viable) But I still didn't see anything about UN-installing the Microsoft
Games.

I would really appreciate it if you could explain what steps you're
referring to.

Thank you, for your response.
 
Ah. That sounds more like you would need to use Group Policy to limit
that. It is something I will have to look into further, but you can
limit what people can and cannot install. But, the Windows Features (as
far as I know) are on there for everyone. The option to install can be
forbidden by the admin, though. I'll look into it and let you know what
I find out.
 
Thank you Dustin,
Since I am the admin I am hoping you can find a way to UNINSTALL the games.
Thanks again for your response to this question!
