I would like to remove the Games that come pre-installed on Win2K.
I have been to the Microsoft Website and they say to go into the Add/Remove Components section and under Accessories and Utilies Details, I can remove it from there.
I cannot find the Accessories and Utilities selection at all.

Can anyone help me?

In control panel- open add remove programs- hit the Add/Remove Windows Components button- highlight Accessories and utilities- hit the details button- uncheck games, hit OK.

You will need Admin rights on the machine.

If you want to disable the games for a large amount of workstations, you may want to consider using group policy to "don't run specified windows applications" which is found under user configuration - administrative templates - system
just add the executable file to each of the games you wish to prohibit. It sure beats running around uninstalling !!!
