I don't know if you guys know this one. I hate all the windows software that gets loaded on install. In win2K you don't even get the option to customize it during the install. You have to do it after using the add/remove programs applet. Half of the things I wanted to remove were not listed in the windows section of the add/remove dialog. Then I found this on the web.
Open the file sysoc.inf in your winnt/inf/ folder. Delete every occurence of the word hide and the comma after it, save the file(Back it up first). Now check the windows tab of the add/remove software dialog, there should be way more things listed there.

Oh yeah, I remember using this tweak a while ago but after I reinstalled Win2K I had forgotten all about it. Thanx 1TD :)

Ummmm question...

What is the minimum needed to run Win2000Pro? I noticed that a lot of stuff runs in the "processes" area of the task manager. What can I shut down and still have Win2000 run properly?

Until I run tweak services.exe using that page, I cant get win2k to run very solid or fast.
