Can I delete these files?
In my Windows folder, there are a bunch of folders with names that sound
like temp files, such as C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB817778$ Are they safe to delete? -- "Stay calm. Be brave. Wait for the signs." regards, Frank Johansen Aurora, Ontario

Sorry, should have mentioned I use XP Professional SP2 Those folders contain the uninstall files for various updates to Windows XP. The particular one you mention above 817778 is included with SP2 so it is safe to delete that folder unless you plan on uninstalling SP2 and then uninstall that update. Unless the update is post-SP2 and you think you might want to uninstall it, the folders are safe to delete. -- Tom Porterfield MS-MVP Windows http://support.telop.org Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup only.
