>If Games were initially installed and you delete them outside of the normal Windows Components uninstall process, Windows may believe that its installation is corrupt and attempt to restore the components that it believes are corrupt. So the Games come back.

>>I am trying delete games off of everyone's machine via a batch file in their startup. They keep coming back. Ok, so we got the web and I found that they created a dllcache folder in the winnt/system32/ folder. Ok so I waste time on that, delete in that location as well. Some worked, games are gone, but I found some other machines that have a windows\system32 folder. There is not a dllcache folder in there, and the registry does not contain anything on a dllcache search. I am still getting the games popping back on these machines. I am not sure if they were upgraded or installed on FAT32 to give them a windows folder instead of winnt.

>>Can someone from microsoft reading this talk to the programmers and ask them why they would assume that games (non-OS Functional files) are needed and restored unless one spends time figuring out how the dllcache thing works? Who decided that the majority of people would want games (if deleted) and decided to put it into the restore function of the OS?

I understand that, but I am able to delete them from the dllcache folder and get rid of them, as long as I have one, and it is easier to do this via a .bat file on a network of many people. The big question is, why didn't they add the games to dllcache folder in the "home" edition and leave it out in the "Professional" edition? I can imagine that we are not the only business that does not want employees playing games on the clock.
