Hi everyone, After using (the great) CCleaner, some directories referring to updates are still under %windir%: $NtServicePackUninstallIDNMitigationAPIs$ -- ?? $NtServicePackUninstallNLSDownlevelMapping$ -- ?? $NtUninstallMSCompPackV1$ -- ?? $NtUninstallWMFDist11$ -- Windows Media Player 11 related (dont' like wmp, but I think it's wise to have the media "engine" updated to last version, so I don't plan to uninstall it) $NtUninstallwmp11$ -- Windows Media Player 11 related (same as above) $NtUninstallWudf01000$ -- ?? Is it 100% safe to remove them? Why CCleaner doesn't clean them? I was wandering also what's the use of the directories: ie7 -- hmm... the program isn't actually stored under %programfiles%\Internet Explorer ?!? (same as for wmp11, I dont' want to uninstall ie7, even if it has an ugly interface) ie7updates -- safe to remove? A personal consideration: XP is from 2001... so we (eheh) should have some experience on it.. does anybody knows if it's ever been necessary to manually uninstall a patch? I'm curious... If a faulty patch is released, shouldn't it be replaced with successive updates?
