Removing Windows XP games

[Guest]

I have been tasked with removing all of the games such as solitaire, mine
sweeper etc. from our company's computers. I have to remove both the program
group and the executables. The program group is no problem, but how do I
remove the program files. I will need to use a script, we have several
hundred computers spread across the southeast. When I try to delete the
files WFP kicks in and they just reappear. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to uninstall them from Add/Remove Programs --> Windows Components.
You just can not delete them.

How would I do this using a script. This process needs to be automated
because of the number and location of the computers.
