Folder for Windows updates/hotfixes

Hello:

Does anyone know which folder contains the Windows updates/hotfixes? In XP
it is in C:\Windows and the files there are prefixed with $Nt and
compressed. I would like to find the equivalent in Vista. Would it be safe
to delete those files in Vista? I have deleted the files in XP and never ran
into any problems. Thank you.

This free program deletes those temporary files to clean up space if you
wish, along with many other things,
take a look

The option you want is listed under ADVANCED > Hotfix uninstallers

Thanks. I actually have CCleaner on my system. I just wanted to know where
exactly those hotfix files were.

For Windows Updates, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Installed
Updates. I can't find the hotfixes themselves, but I probably even want to
go near them.

Hi Martin,

In addition to Andre Da Costa's idea, this tutorial will show you how
to uninstall them from that list.
