Let me guess--you got a message that your first message wasn't posted, so
you sent it again.


You are using the web interface to participate in this newsgroup--it's the
slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor
and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with
Windows. See http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm

If by delete you mean uninstall, then no, you should leave them alone. If by delete you mean removing the entry from ARP while
leaving the patch, then yes, you can delete them all, assuming of course that you don't intend to uninstall them. (I don't like the
clutter either, and think that Microsoft should have one entry for a single update uninstaller (update manager) which allows you to
selectively uninstall updates, instead of having a separate entry for each.)
