It's in Add/remove Windows components, however it will only delete the shortcuts. To completely remove it, check this out, however it's not that big and maybe some program requires it, so I'd leave it.

no it isn't... (also the sshots proof nothing). It isn't because it is from Mircosoft and because a minimum version is installed by default that it is a part of Windows itself. It can be uninstalled and removed completely at any times although MS doesn't want you to do. Windows does not need it to function (unlike the MSIE-engine) and it isn't part of Windows itself.
And many people do uninstall it completely... hence it is tricky to design something which depends on it (although not impossible of course).

just a small note more: The fact that a program isn't shown in the add/remove list, that doesn't mean that the program can't be uninstalled/removed from the system.

As an example of a microsoft program that is installed in the Windows installation, that does not appear in the list but that it can be uninstalled:  windows messenger.

yea if i rememeber correctly, rarely used sounds are deleted from the server every now then just meaning you have to reupload to the server when used.

I love the cusom sound emotions but i wish ther was a feature saying download all current sound and a update that autoaticaly got new sounds everytime you sign on
