Hi. This is the first time I write here, so I don't know if it was talked
before.

Is it posible to change the folder where Windows store the files for
uninstall updates ($NTUninstal... folders)?

Sorry for my English and thank you.

Hi

No, but you can move them out yourself after the updates are
finished installing, and put them back again if you need to
uninstall later on (or just delete them when you are sure you
don't need to uninstall any of them).

Hi.

Thank you. That is what I did, but with some updates I could't do it because
windows told me that some files were been used. How can I move those which
were used? Must I close everything except the Explorer?

Thank you.
