Hi, I know how to remove how to remove games on individual machines and i have set a batch file up to remove the exe files however windows places them back on. Is there any way of removing games for good using an automated service than running round each of the machines individually. Cheers in advance

I don't know about automated but if you remove them using the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel (click on Add/Remove Windows Components >> Accessories and Utilities), they will stay gone. What we do here where I work is use an image to install new PC's. The image is created with the games not installed.

i have managed to write a batch file for the removal, however everyone needs to be administrators of said machines. If i get this working im gonna sell it, looking for ways of doing this is well documented on the web but there doesn't seem to be many answers. You have to remove the games from the dllcache within the system32 folder as well as the root of system32. However it does bring up an error message when both are removed due to some windows file protection thingy. Need to try and find a way around this. Good idea on the image without games. Surely that is the way forward. Just cant believe microsoft make it so difficult tio remove bloody solitare. :(
