Forgive me for being so naive but....

I recently updated 2 programs via internet and saved the files to my desktop
(per install instructions). Now that the updates were installed and programs
properly updated, can I delete the icons eventho they say they are .exe
applications (in properties) ?

Thanks.

Hi Annie

Sounds like these are the actual update files. Since you have installe
the updates, you can safely delete the files, but if you reinstall th
program you will have to go and download the updates again. You coul
move them to another folder on your hard drive to save them in case yo
need to reinstall the software for some reason

Thanks so much. I'll just move them then...just in case.

I appreciate your quick reply.
