Help needed to clear out clutter from Xp installation. I'm sure if I
look around I'll find the answers to my questions, trouble is on this
occassion I don't have time so please help. I'm really caught between a
rock and a hard place.

I'm trying to regain some disk space and have noticed in the windows
folder there are a lot of files $NTUninstallKBXXXXXX plus KBXXXXXX plus
QXXXXXX. Can these be safely removed if I don't wish to uninstall any
XP updates. I know about deleting *.TMP and *.chk file but are there
any others that I can get shot of without regretting it.

Thanks in advance,

duffsparky.

Any advise given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS (Normally, Usually, Generally, Sometimes :)

That's a great sentiment. It would be even better if you spelled
"advice" correctly. (The noun is "advice"; "advise" is a verb.)

I'd have e-mailed you privately, but you choose to post with a bogus
address.

A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
