Dear readers,

I see there is no IE7 group/ folder, so I put this question here.
After installation of updates KB938127, KB939653 and KB942615 I looked in
the Windows directory and there I see the directory 'ie7' in BLUE letters;
what does this mean?? Normally blue letters mean the file is compressed.
Another Windows directory 'ie7updates', contains the files KB938127-IE7,
KB939653-IE7, KB942615-IE7 (latest updates), all 3 are in BLUE letters; this
means I can remove them?? Normally the update/ uninstall files are between
$....$ signs, which means they may be removed. This confuses me, any
suggestions?

Thx, Max.

Hi Max
You must be confused as you do not seem to know where you are or going in
that web interface discussion group.
But then you have already posted about similar problems in updates and
general?
In case you cannot find your way back to the groups -

Questions regarding IE7 - post to the Internet Explorer General - the second
one is for you.

In your Newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you need to use the Web Interface -
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

But your problems seem to be more update related so try here - again

The ie7 folder was already blue. That means it is compressed to save space.
Thos other folders you mention are there in case you decide to remove that
update. If you do delete them in a few months also delete the KB######.log
file, which is also in the Windows folder.
