Yuri;
A WAG is a wild ass guess where I come from.
The word ass is in the dictionary and the Bible and refers to an animal called a Donkey in some parts of the world. However should this word have upset someone remember – it is only a word – and a three letter one at that! :)

>>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?
