I have been trying to clear some space on my Hard Drive by removing programs via the above. I have noticed that there are about 50 pograms just called "Windows XP HotFix" or "Windows XP Hotfix (SP1) - (See (Code always begining with Q) for more info).

Should I delete these programs or not? What are they and where have they come from?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Just install XP SP2. Most or all of these entries in Add/Remove programs will be removed.
