You can delete the exe files and registry manually but this is the obvious.
Dunno any other way. never thought of it actually.

If you do not want anybody to run it you can put permission on it as well on the Local app policy

edit sysoc.inf(winnt\inf\sysoc.inf) with notepad.
remove "HIDE" between ,,( eg: blah blah ,HIDE, blah -> blah blah ,, blah)
then you can remove more stuff in add/remove programs-windows components

an easier way is to open sysoc.inf with Notpad, go to Edit > Replace...

Fill in the first text box with "hide" (without quotes) and leave the other blank, then click replace all, save and then it'll work.

Just a little shortcut.
