Removing hidden programs

This is a discussion about Removing hidden programs in the Windows Software category; Well this is the updated version of the Win2k question. Remember how you could delete hidden stuff by removing hide and hidden from c:\winnt\inf\sysoc. inf? Well how do I do the same thing within XP as I wanna blow Outlook Express and accessability away.

if it doesnt show up like that then you will have to kill it manually by booting into safe mode and deleting the Outlook Express directory. We all know how MS is very competative and lets people install the browser of their choice on MS systems.
