Hot fix

[Sulhi Gencyuz]

Every time I download a Microsoft security patch that is
sent by Microsoft, it creates and saves a file called Hot
fix. I have a bout 2 dozens of hot fix files which have
been an assoult on my hard disk space. When I trieed
delet them it prompts me via a dialog box which programs
will not operate. They said the siz of download file and
they were never any where a mag. What is going on here?

Ummm - you want to download security patches without using ANY disk space?
well, the answer is, don't download them! BTW, the "Hotfix" is an entry in
Add-Remove programs - the ACTUAL files are integrated into your Windows
installation.

All the hotfix's only take up about 35MB on your hard drive. If you need
more space just buy another hard drive. You can buy an 60GB drive $60 if
you shop around. i bought a 120GB drive for $100 a few weeks ago.
