Hi Sherwin,
This is the Windows XP games newsgroup, not Windows
2000, however if your buddy has the games installed then...
Windows Games are considered system files so they are hidden
from the Add-Remove programs list by default. The following is
a step by step guide I made to help you overcome this obstacle:
First we are going to edit the Sysoc.inf file to unhide all games:
1. Choose Start / Run / Copy+Paste the next line into the RUN box and press [ENTER]:
notepad %SystemRoot%\Inf\Sysoc.inf
2. Scroll down until you find the line that reads: Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,HIDE,7
and delete the HIDE from the line so it now reads: Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,,7
3. Below the is the line that reads: AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,HIDE,7
delete the word HIDE from the line so it now reads: AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,,7
4. Scroll down a little to the line that reads: Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7
and delete the word HIDE from the line so it now reads: Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,,7
5. Click File / Exit and choose YES to save the changes you made to the file.
6. Click Start / Settings / Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs.
7. Select and Remove any of the games you want from the list.
I haven't seen an option during the Windows 2000 installation that I can
recall which allowed you to unselect the installation of Windows games.
