VBScript to remove fax icon

[Tri.D]

I am trying to create a script to remove the default fax icon from a
fresh install of Windows XP. I have found a number of registry entries
that correspond to devices installed to the "Printers and Faxes"
folder, but deleting these does not seem to get rid of the actual
device from the folder.

Does anyone know if it is actually possible to remove such devices in
this manner, or am I going to have to revert to the much avoided
"SendKeys" failsafe?

I used RegMon to sniff these registry keys out:
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Devices\"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts\"

I've also tried to FileMon to find any files it may of been writing to,
but I couldn't see anything.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Tri.D

You might want to post the question in the Microsoft.Public.Win2000.Fax
group; this is where Fax programming and development concerns are worked.
