Default How can I remove Outlook Express from XP SP2 images

This isn't a Microsoft Outlook question, but to push you in the right
direction. Are you saying that in your unattended.txt (winnt.sif) file that
you set OEACCESS = Off in the components section and that there are still
remnants left after operating system install?

PS - This is truly a Windows XP deployment question.

I maintain our corporate images for XP SP2. Is it possible to -completely-
remove Outlook Express from XP SP2 machines? I found KB article number
263837 that explains how to remove AND reinstall it.

We use Lotus Notes for corporate email, not Exchange. I have already done
the usual Add/Remove programs and 'removed' it from our machines but there
are still twelve files located at c:\program files\outlook express. The
files that I can delete manually, just do a self-heal procedure and
quickly
get replaced by the O.S.

MY manager wants outlook express 'removed completely'. Can this be done?
If so, how? Can I just follow article 263837 and not do the 'reinstall
Outlook Express' section ? Will this introduce problems with the OS?

Thanks,

Rob
