Notepad.exe is located in the WINNT folder. It can also be found by clicking Program Files > Accessories and scrolling down the list.
Do a search for the "Sysoc.inf" file (sans quotes), open it with a text editor (like Notepad) by right-clicking on the file name and selecting "Open With..." from the menu that appears. Scroll down and select Notepad from the list and click "OK".
Locate the "old base components" line. For each component you want to appear in the Add/Remove Programs tool, remove the comma and "Hide" comment.
For example, change "Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,HIDE,7"
to "Games=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,games.inf,,7"
Also remove the "HIDE" option from the "AccessUtil=" line. If you leave this option hidden, then none of the other components in the "old base components" section are available in Add/Remove Programs.
Save and then close the file.
You can now go to Add/Remove Programs or Add /Remove Windows Components to remove any unnecessary items.

Many thanks! Interesting that none of the several sysoc.inf files includes notepad. No problem.
