    I could find HKEY_Classes_Root, but nothing after that. Please give more precise details on how to remove Pictures and Fax Viewer, and a lot more details on how to get into the registry as when you don't know what to do with the registry can do a lot of damage. Can anyone please give a much easier way to delete Pictures and Fax Viewer. Someone PLEASE HELP.ASAP

    It was as good as effective, but, (If I remember well) the same thing can also be done, using the Windows original install CD (under extra accessories installation options).
