Solve : Windos XP "misterious" files?

Answer»

Trying to clean up my neighbor's PC which runs under WINDOWS XP Professional, I openened Windows Explorer and found under Windows a lot of files printed in blue with the name "$NtUninstallXxxxxxx$',being X ONE or two letters (Q or KB) and XXXXXX a six digit number like 890923, 329834, and so on.

What files are those?  Where did they com from?  May I delete them without further problem?They are no mystery

They are compressed(so blue) windows UPDATE or service pack uninstallation files. They must be hidden why do you see them?

You better not to touch them. But not so serious ones I think.

If you insist on deleting, it's up to you   They enable you to un-install any hotfixes and or Service Packs you have installed...if your machine is running fine then it is completely safe to delete them. I usually keep them for about 3 weeks to make sure the latest fixes are running fine then i TRASH em.

patio.
