Sorry, me again with yet another query.
Think it comes under this XP forum and not software. (sorry if l'm wrong).
Anyway, every now and again l go into control panel to see if there are any entries that shouldn't be there, to basically tidy THINGS up and save some more precious space. Trouble with the the automatic MS updates is they put things in whether you want them or not.
At the moment, l've got three entries in there, NAMELY :-
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 185mb
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 179mb
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1  28.04mb
Do l need all of these or can l clear any of them out?
Thanks
 
Yes, because different programs may ask for different .NET versions.You mean Control Panel/Add Remove programs...correct ? ?
Those should not be LISTED in Control Panel.Thanks Broni and Patio
Just a thought Broni as l might have saved another 180mb. Will leave them be.
Yes sorry Patio, l meant control panel/add remove programs. Windows update automatically downloaded these programs, l know not where, and it just so happens that these show up in the add/remove programs list.
Anyway, that's answered my original questions.
Thank you both. If you want to remove items from Control Panel the easiest way is with tweakuiYou're welcome
