Is there ways to control what windows components are installed? We are
attempting to build an install point for a corporate deployment of Windows
XP, but I fail to see a way to prevent the games (sol, minesweeper, etc),
Outlook Express (we use Outlook 2003), and MSN from being installed. I know
they can be removed post install by the add/remove windows components but I
would rather have them not installed in the first place.

Thank in advance for any assistance.

look at the deploy.cab on your Windows Product CD - you can use an
unattend.txt file to do exactly that...
