unidentified file ~ on desktop is related to patch #330994

[Rita remedy2]

I want to remove the Microsoft patch 330994 from my
computer. This unwanted "~" file is said to be related
to my Outlook Express address book. I have the option
of removing the patch to preserve my address book.

There were 3 other remedies for this problem,
suggested to me. Removing the patch is my choice.

My question is, how is this done?

Hi;
would you not just go to your control panel then to add
or remove programs and just select the patch to remove it
from there?
thats where all of my fixes are listed
good luck if that's not the solution

Not so much to preserve the address book (the problem doesn't threaten
the existance of your address book in any way). More to preserve the
relative privacy of your address book.

There were 3 other remedies for this problem,
suggested to me. Removing the patch is my choice.

What were the other two?

My question is, how is this done?
