Add Remove Programs

[Epicurus]

Hi There chaps

I have seen somewhere where you can unhide programs in the Add Remove programs list..

There is a setting that you can change to view all programs install.

Can someone point me in the right direction

Cheers

Go to your Windows\inf folder. The default is ~ c:\windows\inf

edit the file called "sysoc.inf"

Remove the reference of "hide" in this line:

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

To make it look like this:

msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7

You may also remove all references to "hide" in all of the other lines as long as you KEEP the commas. Some components you cannot "uncheck" in the add/remove programs GUI. If you do get them to uninstall, I do NOT support it. You are on your own.

You will need to enable "hidden file" viewing to see the inf files.

Nick.
