Hello!

My PC computer have very small memory and I would like to know, how it would be possible to delete such files of WINDOW XP as WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER, HELP files and such. When deleting them, they appears there again in that place.They are not in uninstall window, so unpossible to uninstal them. Maibe to open them with NOTEPAD and to change somehow code and then try to delete?

Windows XP recovers from changed system files. I don't think there is a way to delete or change system files other than some dirty hack.

If You mean this:

procedure TForm1.Edit1KeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
begin
if not (key in ['0'..'9','.']) then
key:=#0;
end;

What could it mean?

That is a Delphi source code to handle a forms keypresses, does this relate to your problem?

I found it in topics in other forum about deleting file WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

That's Delphi code to try to limit key input to numeric input. It has nothing to do with uninstalling movie maker.

Generally, trying to uninstall components of Windows is the wrong approach. While some would suggest you replace it all with Linux, what you probably need to do is consider adding another hard drive for storage.
