I have several 95/98 machines my employer would like the games removed from. Several times now I have removed them from Windows Setup. At least one user knows how to add them back and they keep re-appearing. Is there any way to really remove the games from Windows such as a registry edit? Or perhaps block the ability to add them back once they are removed? Since it's 95/98 I don't know of any way to control their ability to access Add/Remove programs and therefore re-install the games. Thanks for suggestions!

You can control that by writing her up. Discipline. You issue isnt a computer issue, its a personnel issue. I would be like only allowing certain numbers dialed on your phone system to cut down on personal phone call abuse.

If your company wants no games to be played on company computers, they should issue a "computer use policy" spelling out do's and don'ts.

So since you seem to be able to tell when she's adding the games back, the next time she does it, there will be consequences for her action.

Make adults act like adults.
 
Thank you the tip was perfect! And yes, I agree discipline would be ideal however I am just the support person, not a manager. I just wanted to be able to say it wouldn't be an issue anymore. Thanks so much!
