If I ever upgrade to Win98 I'll keep that in mind. :-) But we weren't
talking about the separate games that come with Windows... these were
games hidden within Word. I know I can tell Windows I don't want to
install the Windows Game Pack, but can I tell Win98 I don't want to
install the Word Easter eggs? And if so, does it also allow you not to
install the Easter eggs in non-MS programs? If it did, it might be worth
it. ;-)

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying there's no separate EXE file
for the games? I agree, and I wish there were, so I could delete them.
Or are you saying something else?
