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?
Where do the updates save on your hard drive from Windows Update?
in Windows XP
