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.
