S

Snow Miser

Without resorting to Add and Remove Programs, how can I remove
a single Office 2003 feature such as InfoPath?

Using Add/Remove Programs is the proper way. Why don't you want to do it
right?

You can't remove it without using Add/Remove but you can rename the executable to .old so it cannot be started.

I never thought of that. What a great idea - not that I would ever do that
but still, a great idea.

Hi Milly,

Hmmm, that could trigger a repair action the next time a set of updates is installed though, if successful it would reinstate the
app.

Yeah, I thought about that but it still remains the only method I know of to stop the application from running. Perhaps the OP will reconsider the Add/Remove program option.

I still want to know *why* the OP doesn't want to do it the right way.

"Ours is not the reason why, ours is but to answer any silly question to the best of our ability." Questioning users (insert l where you wish) only gets you complicated answers that only they understand.
