Can I safely remove these folder?

[Magne]

I have reinstalled WinXP a couple of times, and a lot of
folders named like this: $NtUninstallQ817606$, have been
generated under the WinNT folder.

Can I safely just remove these $NtUninstall.... folders??


Best Regards
Magne

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

These are the uninstall files for the hotfixes, Magne. If you are happy that
everything with the hot fixes is okay, you can delete them.
