How do I make Setup NOT install things like MSIE, MSN, etc?

Quick background… OEM releases of Win95 include some built in components, such as Internet Explorer, Internet Mail and News, MSN, the “Online services”, and such. These components are not optional on OEM releases by design. There are legal processes in motion forcing Microsoft to stop this practice, but in the meantime you can use these techniques to skip installing them. Such uses for unbundling may be network installations, troubleshooting Internet setups, preventing, “This may affect Registered Programs” from appearing for no apparent reason, and the like. The CompuClinic folks are credited for assistance here (http://www.compuclinic.com/). Legal Stuff: Until such time that OEMs may unbundle these components, I intended these steps only be used by private users or network admins who use Win95 internally. OEMs and resellers attempting to use these techniques might face legal action from MS for violating their license agreements. Check to see if you’re allowed to do this before doin
