Hi Robert,

From http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Hotfix_backup.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------
Each Qxxxxxx represents an update from Microsoft. To know which update is what, use the following method:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=XXXXXX [Substitute the XXXXXX with the actual numbers. Don't include the "Q"]

You'll also see the $NtUninstall folders in Windows folder. They are created when you install a Microsoft Service Pack, a hot fix, or certain security updates. You may leave them there unless you need hard drive space. Visit http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm and get the utility which removes Hotfix Backup files and the Add/Remove Programs Registry entries. From MVP Doug Knox.
