A year or so ago I read here about how to delete the Windows "hotfix" list
from Add/Remove Programs. I did it once but don't remember how and can't
find the info.. It doesn't delete the actual fix, it just deletes them
from your program list. Thanks.
 
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.
