Removal of MSN Gaming Zone

[Marco]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the MSN
GAMING ZONE folder located in the PROGRAM FILES folder?
It allows me to use the Add/Remove Programs utility but
does not delete the files. If you attempt to delete these
files, XP Winlogon process rewrites them right back. Are
the MSN GAMING ZONE files critical system files for XP to
run? I am running XP Home Edition. I try disabling the
file protection temporarily using by turning the
SFCDISABLE key ON (DWORD VALUE OF 1), rebooted and tried
to remove the files but that failed also.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this space occupying,
not using or needed folder and files?

Marco,

I think you should leave that folder as it is. It is considered as a system
folder and is protected by WFP. Disabling the WFP is also not recommended.

That space is insignificant.
