Installed SP 2 from CD without any problems. I would like to delete the
update
history log to start a new history log. Cannot find a way to do this. Help!
Thank you,

Hi

To delete the WU v5 history, delete the DataStore folder located here:

%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)


You can use the procedure described here:
