Removing the default games from Windows
Whether you want more hard disk space or you're an employer looking to remove unnecessary software from office computers, follow these steps to remove the default games.
Windows 7 comes preloaded with a few classic games that some find great for passing the time. For those who don't enjoy these games, though, all they end up doing is taking up (sometimes very valuable) hard-drive space. Wouldn't it be great if you could remove them, and get them back whenever you wanted?

Steps 4 and 5.
