To uninstall things like msn messenger and other hidden installs thru add remove programs, do this:
  1. Find sysoc.inf (you might have to enable "show hidden files" and "show hidden/protected system folders" in explorer) and open it in notepad (It's in %SystemRoot%\INF)
  2. Replace all ",hide" with "," (both commas, without quotes) which is easiest to do with the replace all command under edit
  3. In Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs under Add/Remove Windows Compnents and whole new list of things to uninstall and add are now listed (such as internet explorer)
