I am setting up a VPN to access a network at work. When
installing, there is an error that states I need to
uninstall internet connection sharing. I have disabled
but this is not enough. I have not been able to find a
way to uninstall and remove option from system. Anyone
know how? Running XP pro. Thanks in advance.

I presume it's the CISCO VPN client you are trying to install.

You can't un-install ICS, as you have discovered.

The usual advice is to disable the ICF/ICS service before
installing the VPN client and then re-enabling the
service afterwards.

This document shows how to disable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
when preparing to install or upgrade to the Cisco VPN Client 3.5.X for
Windows on Microsoft Windows XP. You need to disable ICS if you
encounter the "must disable ICS" error message while trying to install or
upgrade to VPN Client 3.5.X.

Note: In VPN Client 3.5(1)D and later, there is an added a parameter to
ignore the ICS check prior to install.
