FWIW I have 3 machines with Xp Pro installed & all of them have the
"Accessories and Utilities" with a "Multimedia" sub-category.
No wonder I have "Multimedia" on 3 machines as this member of over tweaking
anonymous has [hmmmmmmmmm] tweaked these 3 machines by editing the HIDE out
of my C:\Windows\inf\sysoc.inf file.
Can you ever forgive me?
Actually MSFT shouldn't be hiding things then I wouldn't have to spend so
much time un-hiding things. It's just like those file extensions & system
files that I have to un-hide every time I build a machine. It's no wonder I
have people hiring me just to tweak their machines since I seem to dream
about tweaking my sleep.
Oh well, edit your sysoc.inf files & reboot. I'm sure that you'll see that
Multimedia category that I've been talking about. Why should MSFT hide
that? They just don't want the end user to know what's not part of the OS
because they might uninstall things.
I just acquired a version of Xp Pro Sp2 that this person has tweaked the
full install down to 175megs. Heck SP2 alone was 275 meg. I have to learn
how he did it. To Tweak or Not to Tweak that is the Question that I always
must answer Tweak, Tweak, Tweak.
ok, it's off to the funny farm I must go a tweaking all the way.
