Oh, sorry - Kevin's email specified 98. On 2000 there is a hoop for
NetMeeting, but the flames aren't that hot.

Copy msnetmtg.inf from %SystemRoot%\inf (you'll need it to reinstall if
you ever decide to)

Run this command:
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection
NetMtg.Remove 132 msnetmtg.inf

You'll also have to remove the files from the dllcache directory so
Windows File Protection doesn't just recreate them after the removal.
Since I haven't tested any effects, I bear no responsibility for any
problems resulting from this removal.


Hope it helped.

Chris

Thank you for the effort, but I'm using Win 2000, SP2, which doesn't
appear
to have a "Communications" section in the Add/Remove Windows Components
Wizard.

There's Accessories and Utilities/Communications, but that doesn't have
NetMeeting or FrontPage or Outlook or any of the other programs I don't
use
and would like to remove to free up disk space on C:/.
