While reviewing files contained in the Windows File folder, I found 57 .log
entries for installed updates between 1 Nov 2003 and the most recent update
on 13 Jul2005. Also 20 Q...logs that were generated between 1 Nov 2003
and Jul 2004. Once the update has been sucessfully installed, are these logs
necessary? Thanks for any info

The .log files are there to assist if you want to remove the hotfix itself.
Match the numbers of the .log file with the corrsponding hotfix/patch and
delete those you don't have under the \windows folder or in Control Panel
>Add Remove Software


If you are satisified the hotfix is working and you will never need to
remove it then you can remove the folder \$NtUninstall(number)$, the
corresponding .log file, and the Control Panel > Add Remove Software entry.
Doing this will also give you the space back.
