| 603398 | 2007-10-20 15:23:00 | Hi there! I was doing the, er, Autumn clean up on my computer when I noticed I have 234 folders with 1,634 files in them marked with "$NtUninstall" then a few numbers/letters after that! All in the 'Windows' folder! What on Earth are they and can I 'dump' them please? Many regards. Adrain |

Only thing is, if you delete them, you cant uninstall any updates, if you want to in add/remove programs. I think thats what the option in ccleaner is for (under cleaner / windows / hotfix uninstallers (its unticked by default) |
