Numerous Add or Remove Programs Entries???

[Kyle Strawitz]

Hello I've recently downloaded an assorted variety of
Hotfixes for Windows XP Pro...Now in my Add or Remove
Programs window I have about 25 different installed
Hotfixes...Question is there any way to consolidate these
entries into a more concise organization...It makes it
extremely difficult to have to scroll through all of these
to find the other installed programs.

Thanks for your help...

They are listed starting at "W".

How many programs do you have that start with X, Y or Z?

Just hit "page down" or left click on the scroll bar and drag it down.

Oh, click "sort by" name on the top right.

Kyle;
Once you are sure you will keep Windows XP Service Pack 1.
The files may be hidden, to show the file:
Go to C:\WINDOWS
Click the top TOOLS, click FOLDER OPTIONS, click VIEW
Check the radio button. "Show hidden files and folders"
Click OK and you should now see more files.

Go to C:\WINDOWS and delete "$NTServicePackUinistall$" about 240 mb.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs.
Click Service Pack 1, there will be an error since you just deleted
the file.
Click YES to delete the shortcut.

Use similar procedure to delete similar files for the updates.
