To remove updates by: Control panel>Add/remove programs (at top check box

Fix Update folders/files) can be safely deleted (providing you never wish
to
uninstall the updates). I would recommend leaving these folders for a
period of
at least a month to make sure the update is working correctly.
These updates can be deleted individually or in multiples. To find out
more
about the update/s go to:

NB: XXXXXX = the actual number not including the "Q" or "KB"
Once you have deleted the uninstall folders/files, then go to Control
Panel,
Add/Remove Programs. Select the matching Windows Hotfix Title relating the
update folder/file you have just deleted and select remove. You will get a
Windows error. This is because you have deleted the uninstall
folder/files. Just
choose OK and the entry will be deleted from the Add/Remove Programs
Listing.

peter said:They are needed only if by now you have had trouble with any of those
updates...so that you can uninstall the specific update.
