entender. A mí me sirvió.
Remove "Uninstallable" XP Components

There are a number of Windows components-notably Windows
Messenger and WordPad-that don't show up on the list of
uninstallable components on the Windows Component Wizard.
There's no apparent way to uninstall them. But you can, in
fact, remove these components.

XP has a Setup Information file that controls what appears
in the Windows Component Wizard. If you edit this file,
you can remove these components as you would any others.

To start, use Notepad or another text editor to open the
Setup Information file, sysoc.inf, which is generally
found in the \WINDOWS\INF folder. Look for the line
describing the program that you want to uninstall. Lines
in the file have the format:

program=dll.inf entry, OcEntry, program.inf entry, numeral
Programs that are uninstallable all have the word hide or
HIDE embedded in the string. Next, delete the word hide
from the entry that refers to the component that you want
to remove. For example, if you wanted to remove Pinball,
you'd edit its entry by changing

Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7
to

Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,,7

Save the sysoc.inf file, then run the Windows Component
Wizard by choosing Add or Remove Programs from Control
Panel, and clicking on Add/Remove Windows Components. The
component will now show up in the wizard. Remove it as you
would any other component.

Keep in mind that not all of the entries in sysoc.inf are
as easy to understand as Pinball and WordPad. For example,
if you want to remove Windows Messenger, edit the entry
for msmsgs, and if you want to remove the Accessibility
Wizard, edit the entry for AccessOpt. The following table
lists the "uninstallable" programs and what their entries
are in the sysoc.inf file.
