Hi

They're all listed under "Windows Updates" in the "add/remove programs"
list... Is that enough info??

Not sure if last reply worked...
The beta folders are all listed under "windows updates" on the "add/remove
programs" list. Does that answer your question?

Hi

After SP2 is installed, do *not* remove beta updates by running
them from "Add/Remove Programs" (a.k.a. uninstalling them), that
can really mess up your computer.

Instead, run the VBScript in the link below (put it in a .vbs
file) and see if the entries in "Add/Remove Programs" is removed.
