Un-install Wordpad, Automatic Update, Messenger, Pinball etc

Use Notepad or another text editor to open the Setup Information file, sysoc.inf, which is generally found in the C:\WINDOWS\INF folder. For this folder to be visible, you will have to enable hidden folders by going into Windows Explorer and choosing Tools Folder Options View Show Hidden Files and Folders. The lines in the file follow the format: 


program=program.dll,OcEntry,program.inf,,numeral


The Pinball game entry, as an example, looks like this:
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7.


Remove the word HIDE from the entry that refers to the component you want to remove. Save the sysoc.inf file, and run the Windows Components Wizard under Add/Remove programs. The component will now show up in the wizard. Remove it as you would any other component.
