Show Hidden Programs in Add/Remove Programs on WinXP

IntelliAdmin - Show hidden software in Add/Remove programs

"While digging around for an answer to another issue, I came across this KB article

Essentially it boils down to this: Windows XP comes with a bunch of pre-loaded software. Lots of it you can't even find in Add/Remove programs. Why? Because Microsoft designed it this way.

By simply opening up the file Sysoc.inf (This is in the %SystemRoot%\Inf folder), and removing the word 'hide' you can force these programs to show up.

...This can really help when you want to trim down a system, but at the same time have the opportunity to bring something back if you need it."

Nice.
