going to the Control Panel and selecting Add/Remove Programs and choosing Add/Remove
Windows Components.

hope you found it informative. If you have any questions, comments or even constructive
criticism, please feel free to drop me a note. I want to write solid technical articles that appeal to a
large range of readers and skill levels and I can only be sure of that through
your feedback.
Until the next time, remember,
Windows 2000 is almost 4 years old.
