XP Hotfixes - Deletion

[Pablo]

I want to remove the numerous Hotfixes from the
computer. I thought the actual fixes were installed and
could not be removed??

I want to clear up HD space.

Is this possible, or will REMOVING the fix also remove
the installation of said fix?

Thanks.

"Hotfixes" are the updates you installed from the Windows Update
website. Do not be tempted to remove them or you will uninstall
the actual updates.

If you wish to safely remove the "uninstall files" for the
Hotfixes (i.e. $NtUninstallQxxxxxx$ files shown in Windows Explorer)
and cleanup your Add/Remove Programs list, visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's
excellent website for instructions.

Remove Hotfix Backup files and the Add/Remove Programs Registry entries
