Something that could really come in handy for those involved in setting up PCs. I was working on a laptop here and noticed the list of Windows Components on the Add/Remove Components menu was missing every component except the basic networking ones. I was looking in particular for IIS, as I need to install it for some ASP.NET work.
Sure enough, there’s a ‘config’ file that controls which options are available in the Add/Remove window. See the file c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf (note that ‘inf’ is a hidden Windows folder). Credit to this forum post.
Hi Willy B here,
Is that Hidden file responsible when changes made in SYS configuration files
and system rebooted into SAFE MODE?
Thanks

Thanks for the post
@makemeseenwb: sorry, I don’t know. I now realize my post kind of makes me sound like a ‘hardware’ guy (twas unintentional). I was trying to use a laptop for development work, and I know or find out just enough info to be dangerous
Hi Illiniguy,
I have found myself more than once finding
out that a LITTLE knowledge is a dangerous
thing. I would like to LEARN more about
Windows XP but I only use it when I have
no choice. Linux-Debian works well.
