Yes, there are.
- - MSN Messenger
- - DirectX

And I'm pretty sure, there are more ... much more.
But that is Microsofts way of doing ... that is normal :)
Just delete the rest of Outlook Express ... the hole directory.

I always remove unnecessary programs that I don't use from the "Add/Remove
Windows component" section within Windows. Outlook Express is one such
program that I never ever use and it was unchecked and subsequently
removed with each fresh install of my OS.
I accidentally clicked on an "Email me" link on my friend's website the
other day and was annoyed to discover that Outlook Express was triggered
even though it was supposedly "uninstalled".
Is anyway aware of this issue?
What can be done to entirely remove Outlook Express?
How does one secure their PC when uninstalling unwanted programs don't
complete the job?
Are there any other phantom M$ programs that I should be aware of?
