XP install files

[Dan Sully]

Windows creates bunches of $NtUninstal.....$ and $NtServicePack....$ files
in the Windows directory (WindowsXP).

Can these be deleted? When is it safe to do so?

Is there a way to see all the system resore points in a list?

Thanks

Greetings --

If you're confident that you won't need to uninstall either the
service pack or any of the subsequent hotfixes, you can safely delete
those folders. You can then open the Control Panel's Add/Remove
Programs applet and select each of the pertinent removal choices, in
turn. You should get an error message stating that the removal files
are missing, and asking if you'd like to delete the menu option.
