   As someone who has worked in the trenches in IT, fixing hundreds if not    
   thousands of computers over a now-20-year span of time... I can tell you that    
   deleting or modifying Windows system files in the way you are suggesting is    
   asking for trouble.   
      
   Why not just set a system restore point, or do an image of the Windows   
   partition when it is "behaving as it should". When it doesn't work, revert    
   back accordingly.    
      
   Every Windows computer worth my time has been properly imaged; so any    
   "problems" are easily corrected by restoring from the image media.   
      
   No more Ubuntu, no more hackery.
