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?

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?

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?

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.
