I am trying to delete the MSN Gaming Zone folder in the
Program files folder. It doen't appear in the Control
Panel Add/Delete program and when I try deleting it
directly from the Program files folder I get a Cannot
delete access denied message.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
 
Hi Jim,

WinXP ships with Internet Games by MSN Gaming Zone.

To remove WinXP's Internet Games: Click START / Control Panel /
Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove Windows Components /
Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then uncheck
Internet Games / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.

Hi Jim,

C:\Program Files\MSN Gaming Zone\Windows

That's the one I'm referring to also. If it was simply
the Zone.com software, you would find it listed in
the regular Add-Remove software list as MSN
Gaming Zone. Glad to be of service. :-)
