in [Windows XP]

From: Jack Nation on 17 Feb 2010 15:39 I use WindowsXP with IE8. I have hundreds of folders and files in my windows directory that I did not put there. These folders and files all begin and end with a $ sign like thus = $NtUninstallKB822603$. How can I delete these please? -- Jack Nation
From: Tom Willett on 17 Feb 2010 15:48 Those are placed there by the windows updates. If you don't ever plan on having to uninstall a security update, you can delete them. You say they won't delete. How did you try to delete them, and what was the error message when you tried?

From: Jim on 17 Feb 2010 16:03 Yes, you did put them there when you installed the indicated patch. These folders are installed in case you ever want to delete a patch. What was the error message when you tried to delete them?

From: Tridec on 18 Feb 2010 06:27 As you can read by hters you can delete them, in case of errors make sure you have local administrator rights or log in as administrator and try again.
