It seems that some programs - like Outlook Express, Games and the other garbage are hidden and can't be seen in add/remove section. Does anybody have a clue how to make them viewable and to uninstall?

Use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel Applet and choose Add/Remove Windows Components - there you will find these items (like games, Outlook Express, etc.) and will be able to remove them from your system.

Did you take a look yourself at add/remove windows components section? There are no outlook, games and etc. items there.
If you know how to make those items viewable (because they are hidden in Win2000, if you didn't know yet), please advise.
Thanks for you time though.

Well, did u see there a button named "Details" or "Components", or however it is called in English version of W2K? It's located just under the list. Clicking one you may choose to install/uninstall additional components (And the Standard programs contains the Games section). Surf thru the dialog and remove components you don't need!

The Outlook Express - well, here i may say that it is a component of Internet Explorer, but it can't be removed from the system, that's why i guess it's not listed in the list of available components.

Locate the file %SystemRoot%\inf\sysoc.inf (C:\WINNT\INF\sysoc.inf) and remove all "hide" attributes, it enables You to remove some components via Add/RemovePrograms.

But wether anybody now a method to remove or reinstall OutlookExpress only?
