Some Windows components, such as the Accessibility Wizard, are hidden from the Windows Components Wizard. As such, these components cannot normally be removed. However, these components can be exposed by editing C:\Windows\Inf\SYSOC.INF. Entries in the [Components] can be exposed by removing the HIDE parameter. (Don’t delete any commas, just the word “hide”.) Once the desired entries are exposed, they can be removed.
