for those people that do not already know this tweak you can uninstall a lot of **** by editing your sysoc.inf and changing the things that say HIDE to nothing so if its like blahblah,HIDE,blahblah just change it to blahblah,,blahblah

I do this and it is nice because i get rid of crap like msn explorer messanger all the games, indexing service and stuff like that.

JD, the 'hide' flag hides it from the Add/Remove dialog. Thats its purpose.

However, MSN Explorer isn't a component, and so is shown in the normal Add/Remove Programs section without having to alter the formentioned file.
