Help needed to clear out clutter from Xp installation. I'm sure if I
look around I'll find the answers to my questions, trouble is on this
occassion I don't have time so please help. I'm really caught between a
rock and a hard place.

I'm trying to regain some disk space and have noticed in the windows
folder there are a lot of files $NTUninstallKBXXXXXX plus KBXXXXXX plus
QXXXXXX. Can these be safely removed if I don't wish to uninstall any
XP updates. I know about deleting *.TMP and *.chk file but are there
any others that I can get shot of without regretting it.

Thanks in advance,

duffsparky.

That's a great sentiment. It would be even better if you spelled
"advice" correctly. (The noun is "advice"; "advise" is a verb.)

I'd have e-mailed you privately, but you choose to post with a bogus
address.
