Quick overview:
Windows Media Player 7.0 + 6.4, Movie Maker, PC Health, MS Info and many others. They are all firmly embedded in the Microsoft operating system and can no longer be completely removed as they have no entry under Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Here I have the ultimate solution for all those who want to purge their system:
1. Click here to download the program from the page that appears. Beta 10 Optional Component Maker - Windows Me to install.
2. When the download is complete, you must open the directory in which the program is located. As it is in compressed form, you only need to decompress it. You will find a suitable decompression program here.
Once the file has been unpacked, you must open the newly created folder and double-click on the file Beta1014 click.
3. confirm the request that appears with "Yes". As soon as you confirm the window that pops up with "Yes", two windows will open, which will install the program or make the necessary changes to Windows in no time at all.
4. now go to the control panel and double-click on and switch to the "Windows Setup" tab. You will now see the entry which you open immediately. You will now find a list of all Windows software that cannot be removed in the conventional way:
Movie Maker
This program can be used to edit recorded films and send them by e-mail, for example. Unfortunately, this is not even enough for home use. Here you are much better off with more professional programs.
MS Agent
This refers to a specific technology that enhances the Windows interface with a number of multimedia functions. The best example is the wizard Merlin, who guides the user through the installation process at the beginning of the Windows Millennium installation on some computers (including Medion computers). He has voice output and can fly around anywhere on the desktop. If you do not need this feature, you should uninstall it.
MS Info
This program provides information about the PC's data, such as processor, RAM or hard disk. Unfortunately, it is not easy for users to find their way around. Who does not need it saves 9.9 MB
OOBE
This abbreviation stands for "out-of-box experience". In reality, this describes an out-of-body experience (bilocation, astral projection) in which a person's mind is separated from the body through exercises or hypnosis, e.g. when falling asleep. In the Windows world (far removed from such supernatural experiences), this refers to setup assistants, e.g. for Internet connection sharing or Windows product registration.
PC Health
The PC Health program is a type of file protection and recovery for Windows ME that allows the operating system to create backups, write-protect files/folders and set up the "_Restore" folder for system recovery. If you deactivate PC Health, you will save a lot of hard disk space as well as system resources.
WBEM
Web-Based Enterprise Management is a standard with which you can manage network computers via the Internet.
Web Folders
With this function, you can manage the files and folders on a server via the Exploer, provided you have access to them.
Windows Media Player 6
If some users do not like Windows Media Player 7.0, Microsoft has included the well-known 6.0 in the Millennium package. Compared to the newer version, it offers a dusty appearance and few functions.
Windows Media Player 7
This new program for playing music and video files with Windows Me was sold as the secret star. If you don't like all the bells and whistles, you can remove the program here.
Windows Scripting Host
While it was still possible to uninstall this programming language support in Windows 98, this is completely denied under Millennium. If you delete the program, files such as VisualBasic scripts can no longer be executed. You should note that the execution of the following two tips (only as an example, all VB scripts are affected) will no longer be possible:
- Defragment the working memory
- Clear the working memory
Windows Update
This feature allows you to download updates for the operating system. If you do not wish to use this function, we recommend uninstalling it.
