add/remove programs

I have 20 listings in my currently installed program list
titled Windows XP Hotfix, can someone tell me what this
is?? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

A "Hotfixes" is an update from Windows Update. These keep your system
secure and fix know program in the OS. You want these on your system.

Thank you for your help.

These entries are there, so you can remove a particular hotfix, if needed.
The files that were replaced when the Hotfix was installed are kept in the
C:\Windows folder in folders named similar to $NtUninstallKB824105$ (hidden
folders). If you don't need to uinstall any of the hotfixes, you can
remove the backup files and the associated Add/Remove entries by going to
