Is there any way to remove ppt.exe from the Windows folder?

Is there any way to remove ppt.exe from the Windows folder? I never use Power Point and could save a couple of MB of space I hope. I upgraded my device to WM5 from a hx2415 and on a fresh build I only have about 18MB BIS. Any other ideas on how to reclaim lost space?

Thanks for your help!

Not that I know of. I have never used a WM5 device, so i don't know a whole lot about its architecture, but if it is anything similar to PPC2000, PPC2002, or WM2003/SE then it can't be removed. The program folders are stored in some type of non-volatile memory, ROM in the case of the older devices. And Windows will not allow you to erase files from that area, similar to how you can't delete certain files in Windows (unless, of course, you are in safe mode). But don't hold me to this because I have never used WM5 before and so I can't tell you how it operates.
