NT Gatekeeper: Hardening an NT Server

Our Windows NT Server 4.0 department is working on hardening our servers. One task it wants to do is remove unnecessary system programs and files. Can you provide a list of files that NT installs automatically that under typical circumstances aren't needed on a file server and can thus be removed?

Table 1 shows a list of files that you typically can delete from a default NT Server installation. Keep in mind that your organization might have specific needs that require one or more of these files on a file server. Also, the list isn't exhaustive—you might discover other files that you can delete as well.
