Everything (IE7, WMP11 etc etc) is working fine. Which of these $ files can
I delete from the c:\Windows directory?

$NtServicePackUninstallIDNMitigationAPIs$
$NtServicePackUninstallNLSDownlevelMapping$
$NtUninstallKB923694$
$NtUninstallKB925398_WMP64$
$NtUninstallKB926239$
$NtUninstallKB926255$
$NtUninstallMSCompPackV1$
$NtUninstallWMFDist11$
$NtUninstallwmp11$
$NtUninstallWudf01000$

Some like KB923694 are pretty obvious but what about those "ServicePack"
files? What are they from? I ditched the SP2 backup files ages ago.

I believe these are associated with the IE7 install. Best to ask in the
internet explorere newsgroup. Google search suggests they can be remove.

IE newsgroup in a Newsreader:

$NtUninstallKB923694$
$NtUninstallKB925398_WMP64$
$NtUninstallKB926239$
$NtUninstallKB926255$

These look like the uninstall files from window update.
$NtUninstallMSCompPackV1$
$NtUninstallWMFDist11$
$NtUninstallwmp11$
$NtUninstallWudf01000$

I don't know about those. Google for them. Also you might want to check
the media player newsgroup.
