Hi Barney

Do you want to totally remove these applications? Or just remove them from
the Start Menu?

It is quite easy to remove them from the Start Menu - just right-click on
the item, and choose "Delete" from the context menu. If you get a "Please
confirm" dialogue, just press Continue.

Contacts, Photo Gallery etc are part of the system, they are quite deeply
spliced into Windows. You can probably remove them totally with some deep
hacking, but I don't recommend it. If you get them off the Start Menu, they
can live unobtrusively in the background.

Hope it helps,
