MrSchotte;
In Windows Explorer,navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Games
Right click on the individual program shortcuts and select properties. The "Target" field will show you the name of the program that is executed ie. "%SystemRoot%\System32\sol.exe". In this case I would then navigate to c:\winnt\System32\ and remove "sol.exe". Then remove the shortcut.
Ed Please let me know if the suggestion(s) I provide are helpful to you.

If you really want to remove the apps (rather than just the shortcuts), you need to use add/remove windows components button of add/remove programs. Before you do this you need to edit a file called sysoc.inf in \winnt\inf. In the [Components] section, find the Games entry and remove the word 'hide' or 'HIDE' near left hand end of this entry.
