Just wondering if it is safe to delete theses directories? If the  computer

has been running ok for serveral months

Hi Robert



Those folders hold the uninstall files for the Windows Updates.  If you are

*certain* that you won't need to uninstall any of those Updates, then those

folders can be deleted.

How do you uninstall them instead of just deleting it?

You don't want to uninstall them.  Those keep your PC secure and update to

date.  If you uninstall them I can *guarantee* your PC will not run good

even for a day.

Chris,



While I agree with you that caution is in order.

I have an older copy of windows xp, it has no sp1 no hot fixes.

I periodically load it and run it. It waas one of the first xp cds

out.

When I use it I have no problems and often run over a week with up.

I strongly disagree with your statement   "I can *guarantee* your PC

will not run good even for a day.."



I think it will run fine; but there may be more potential for

problems.

If the PC has internet access (And assuming it does since the OP posted

here) then without the hoxfixes installed that opens the user up to Blaster,

Sasser, etc.  I'm taking a wild guess and using the OP isn't running a

firewall either.  So uninstalling the patch's when cause definite problems.
