someone
I don't know if this is the right newsgroup or if my question is applicable
to any MS newsgroup. I have a whole bunch of Uninstalls under the Windows
Folder in my XP Pro. I actually have several questions. All these
Uninstalls begin with "$" and end with "$." Is that the same as "%"? I
think that "%" ... "%" means all the files included in that folder, but I'm
not sure. That would mean that "%" ... "%" is the same as "* ... *. If I'm
wrong, please correct me.
Most of these Uninstalls are $NTUninstallKB numbers 873333 to 958644$. Why
would Knowledge Base items have been installed on my computer? Some refer
to Service Packs. Since I don't plan to uninstall any service pack, can I
delete them (or remove, if applicable)? Some others are WMFDist11,
MSCompPackV1, WMP11, and Wudf01000. I guess I don't want to delete this
stuff (especially since WMP11 looks like Windows Media Player 11 - which
should be removed in the Control Panel), but what about the uninstalls for
the service packs and the KBs? Thanks in advance.
