I have 18 Windows Hotfixe's in my add/remove programs,
area. What are they and do i need to keep them or can i
delete them?

Thank You
 
Melissa,

The Hotfixes are the updates to the Operating System, either downloaded from Microsoft WindowsUpdate site or through Automatic Updates [from Microsoft servers]. Don't remove them. By removing them, you are actually uninstalling those updates, which is not recommended.

MVP Doug Knox has an utility which removes Hotfix backup files [if you are running short of disk space] without removing the hotfix, get it from www.dougknox.com
