This is an easy tip and easy to find too, but as I recently needed it and the whole idea of this site is saving the steps of steps that are useful for me I’ll post it here.

  2. Click on Run… to open the Run Dialog.
  3. Enter the following command: 
    RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

    and hit OK.

there are some backslashes missing after %windir% and after inf, with them its working good ( RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\infmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove )
