How do I remove the two games (and maybe a couple other unneeded
programs) embedded in ROM and ergo undeletable?

default apps are in rom and can't be deleted nor do they take any memory.

You can remove their shortcuts from the startmenu using file explorer
and navigating to \windows\start_menu and below. (wm5 may require you
to uncheck them using the "start/settings/menu" route before deleting them.

Just be forewarned though while you can block/remove the shortcut
a knowledgeable user can restore it.

If you're trying to save room, you can't remove them (as earlier posts
have stated), and they don't take up room you could use for anything
else.

If you're trying to keep them away from users, use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
kiosk
in this newsgroup.
