I'm trying to remove games from a windows 2000 pro system. I've tried to delete, remove and hide these games in both the winnt\system32 & winnt\system32\dllcache directories. Somehow, they just magically reappear. What am I missing?

If you only move them the system search will find them. If you need to get rid of them, the best thing to do is to uninstall them (go to Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows components -> Accessories and Utilities -> deselect Games and close all the windows).

You can also set permissions to users that can have access to the games or prevent certain users from accessing them.

You need to edit sysoc.inf with notepad. Just remove "hide," on the items you want to show up in Add/Remove programs.
