Since I installed SP1 I noticed more than a hundred Temporary Directory Files for "infinst_enu.zip\Disk 1\win 2000", or "...\win 98", or "...\win 98E", or "...\win ME", or "...\XP". Were those there before, and I just didn't notice them; and are they safe to delete? Thanks for any help.

When you install SP1, Windows create temp files to make sure that you can restore your computer if anything goes wrong. If the SP1 is working fine for a few days, just go into "DISK CLEAN UP" in "start" and "system tools"
