Remove unwanted or unuseful Windows components

Be careful when editing the "sysoc.inf" file, because some of those components are meant to be hidden, as they are required for your Windows XP.

I removed the hide attribute from the Windows Messenger, Pinball and TabletPC, as I know I never use one.
The process can be reversed.

From the Add/Remove Windows Components i removed the Windows Messenger, MSN Explorer, Pinball and Internet Games. Personally i never use them so why have them?
