Greetings --
If you're confident that you won't need to uninstall any of the
hotfixes, you can safely delete the compressed folders storing the
older versions of the relevant files. These folders will be located
at "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB820291$," for example.
Once you've deleted the folders, you can then open the Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet and select each of the pertinent
removal choices, in turn. You should get an error message stating
that the removal files are missing, and asking if you'd like to delete
the menu option.
Or, as David suggests, you can used the registry to remove the
hotfixes from the display of installed items. His method hides the
hotfixes from display, and has the virtue of still providing the
option of later uninstalling a hotfix by changing the registry entry's
name back to its original.but this method. Of course, this technique
won't free up any hard drive space, if that's a matter of concern for
you.
