Removing codecs in Vista?

Feek · 03-09-2007, 21:28

I need to strip out all codecs that weren't supplied with the OS to help with getting TVersity working. Uninstall routines with codec packs are notoriously bad in that when I've removed them, the system still plays files with the format that they're for.

So, if I look at the tech info for WMP I get the following.

It looks to me as though the files with the version number 6.0.6xxxx, 11.0.6xxxx and 11.0.5840xxxx are MS supplied ones so is it as simple as just deleting the listed DLLs for all the other versions?

Should I need to de-register those DLLs manually once deleted? If so, how?

Thanks
