Can I delete these files from c:\WINDOWS?

[Guest]

Under what circumstances can I delete these files from c:\WINDOWS, with or
without backing them up?

c:\WINDOWS\$MSI31Uninstall_KB893803*$
c:\WINDOWS\Adobe Reader 6.0, Adobe Reader 6.0.1
(I already upgraded to Adobe Reader 7)
c:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{gibberish}\Microsoft AntiSpyware.msi
(3 files of this description)
c:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\{driver,sp1,sp2}.cab
c:\WINDOWS\Installer\*.msi
(some of the files belong to programs that are already deleted)

You've got some nerve pointing someone to "proper" NNTP newsreading, while
you quoting the guy incorrectly...
