which security updates should be kept, which can be deleted?
I have the following Windows security updates listed under the
Add/Remove in the Control Panel: WebFldrs XP Windows Media Player Hotfix (see wm828026 for more information) Windows XP Hotfix KB810217 Windows XP Hotfix KB821557 Windows XP Hotfix KB823182 Windows XP Hotfix KB823559 Windows XP Hotfix KB824105 Windows XP Hotfix KB824141 Windows XP Hotfix KB824146 Windows XP Hotfix KB825119 Windows XP Hotfix KB828028 Windows XP Hotfix KB828035 Windows XP Hotfix KB828741 Windows XP Hotfix KB834707 Windows XP Hotfix KB835732 Windows XP Hotfix KB837001 Windows XP Hotfix KB839643 Windows XP Hotfix KB839645 Windows XP Hotfix KB840315 Windows XP Hotfix KB840374 Windows XP Hotfix KB840987 Windows XP Hotfix KB841873 Windows XP Hotfix KB842773 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329048 for more information] Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329115 for more information] Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329390 for more information] Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329834 for more information] Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q328310 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q329170 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q329441 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q810565 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q810577 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q810883 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q811493 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q814033 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q815021 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q817287 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q817606 Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q819696 Do I need all of them? Can I safely remove any of them? A week ago I had about 360MB of free space. Now I get "low disk space" or "very low disk space" messages every day. I was forced to remove a number of programs already, but still it's not enough. Can I avoid getting bigger hard drive by getting rid of some (at least) of those updates? For example anything without (SP2)?... Thanks in advance for any help! Stan |

Those are for UNinstalling the Hotfixes. If you don't plan on
UNinstalling them, you can move or delete the subdirectories containing the data from the Windows directory.

You are not going to gain a great deal of space by deleting the Hotfixes, in
the win folder. - if you remove using add/remove dialogue you are actually uninstalling - If you only have 360mb of free space you need either a larger disk, or to add a second as slave.

If you have more than one partition and PowerQuest PartitionMagic 8.0, you can resize your partition but not that it does not support Dynamic Disks. If you want, try converting your partition to NTFS if it is FAT or FAT32 and compress your files to save disk space. |
