This works in xp, but I think it'll work in 2k too.

in C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf

just remove the HIDE in the line of the stuff you want to remove

EXAMPLE

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

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

and it'll apear in the add/remove

It also works nice if replacing all instances of HIDE, (notice the ",") with nothing. Never the less make a backup of sysoc.inf before editing the file.
