Use Notepad or another text editor to open the Setup Information file, sysoc.inf, which is
generally found in the C:\WINDOWS\INF folder. For this folder to be visible,
you will have to enable hidden folders by going into Windows Explorer and choosing Tools
[1] Folder
Options [1]View[1]Show Hidden Files and Folders. The lines in the file follow the format:
program=program.dll,OcEntry,program.inf,,numeral
The Pinball game entry, as an example, looks like this:
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7.
Remove the word HIDE from the entry that refers to the component you want to remove.
Save the sysoc.inf file, and run the Windows Components Wizard under Add/Remove
programs. The component will now show up in the wizard. Remove it as you would any other
component.
