for Vista: A remove Windows Components option like in XP

Would like the option to remove Windows Components like WMP or whatever.
Mostly to get them off the shell/interface, but also to clear space and to
organize the program files directory a bit better. Thanks.

WMP is an integral part of the Windows Vista operating system and cannot be removed.

Hey, thanks. Well there's plenty of other stuff that would be cool to remove.
Like Live Messenger, Movie Maker, Mail, Sidebar, etc

I would love a remove components option!

Hi Techy,

Sorry, you cannot uninstall any default features in Vista. You can turn
off certain features though. This tutorial will show you how.

Hope this helps,
