I open up explorer fron right clicking the start menu and
when I go to the C:\Windows directory I see a lot of
files. I have 9,737 files and 416 folders in this
directory.
My questions is should I have a lot of files that look
like " $NtUninstallQ817606$ " in this directory.
When I previously had Win98SE, in the Windows directory I
never had files that looked like this.
There must be 150 of such files in this directory.
Is this a commom thing in Windows XP Professional?????
Please advise,
 
If you wish to safely remove the "uninstall files" for the
Hotfixes (i.e. $NtUninstallQxxxxxx$ files shown in Windows Explorer)
and cleanup your Add/Remove Programs list, visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's
excellent website for instructions.

Hotfixes" are the updates you installed from the Windows Update
website. Do not be tempted to remove them or you will uninstall
the actual update.


Note: Doug's program only removes the uninstall files and Hotfix entries
in the Add/Remove Programs listing. It does not remove the
actual updates.

Remove Hotfix Backup files and the Add/Remove Programs Registry entries
