is there a way to remove components like netmeeting, ie and outlook express from w2k pro?
i have a cd that unfortunately gives me not the option to remove the other components during the setup process, then i need to install it the way it wants to and remove the components after the process finishes. anyhow all the components i have the option to remove r things like Imaging and acessibility tools etc. btw i removed the acessibility tools but sandra still reports i have them installed. these doesnt matter.. id like to remove netmeeting and possibly ie and outlook express.
thanks.

yes i had oni. that was not exactly this. now id like to know what i do to remove the netmeeting because it is not in the list of components i can remove. as i said all i can find there r not important programs like imaging and stuff like that. can i remove netmeeting, also ie and outlook express from w2k pro?
the one i was getting earlier was about not to have the list of components available during the setup process. i still havent it but i can remove them after the installtion finishes at least.

I'm pretty sure you can only remove Netmeeting from the installation phase; its not like in Win9x/ME where you can add/remove Windows components at will. And in Windows 2000, you can't remove IE or Outlook Express because they're written right into the kernel.
