Blue files in Window directory

[Lou]

Windows Xp Hot Fix Patches result in BLUE files in the
WINDOWS directory. e.g $NTUninstallKB282010$ Currently
I have over 70 of thses file listed in the WINDOWS
Directory. CAN THEY BE DELETED???

If you wish to safely remove the "uninstall files" for the
Hotfixes (i.e. $NtUninstallQxxxxxx$ files shown in Windows Explorer)
and cleanup your Add/Remove Programs list, visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's
excellent website for instructions.

Remove Hotfix Backup files and the Add/Remove Programs Registry entries

Note: Doug's program only removes the uninstall files and Hotfix entries
in the Add/Remove Programs listing. It does not remove the
actual updates.
