Windows Components
After Windows XP is installed on your computer, you can use the "Add/Remove Windows Components" tool to add a feature that was not included in the original installation, or to remove an existing component that you no longer require.
Click Start>Control Panel, then double-click "Add or Remove Programs". That will bring you to the screen shown below.

Click the box on the left that says "Add/Remove Windows Components" to start the Wizard window as shown below.

In the resulting list, click to select the check box that is next to the item that you want to add. If the check box next to it is shaded, only some of its subcomponents are selected for installation.To view a list of the subcomponents, click "Details". Click to select the check box next to the item that you want to add, and then click OK. If the Details button is unavailable, the component does not contain subcomponents. Click Next.
The process of installing or uninstalling begins as shown below. 
NOTE: If the Insert Disk dialog box appears, insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then click OK. Click OK to locate your Windows XP installation files. In the Files Needed dialog box, click Browse, locate your Windows XP installation files, and then click Open. For example, the installation files might be in the D:I386 folder, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
