Ummm...well how exactly are you deleting them? If you're just deleting them from the desktop, all you are doing is removing a shortcut to the program. You must go to Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and select which one you want to remove.

Its a pain to do it manually but there is a wonderful software package XPLITE that will take care of that and more. For information see http://www.litepc.com/

Just be forewarned that the windows update site doesnt work with other browsers.
