How do I hide or delete...?

[DanGrease]

How do I hide or delete the Windows Update fixes from the Add/Remove Program in Windows XP? They take too much space and I wont uninstall them ever. I just want them to dissapear from the Add/Remove Program since I dont need them there. Is there any way I can do this? I know this has to do with the Registry, and I am prepared to do some registry changes if necessary. Help please, they are getting annoying there and taking up a huge amount of space for nothing.

I really don't mind that at all....

there's an application called "add remove plus" which will do what you want.

Here you go:

Glad I could help!

P.S. Maybe I should do it also.

If you dont attend to delete the fixes in the near future then why not? They only take space and arent necessary for people that arent going to delete these fixes.

Yeah, I normally get rid of the ones that have been stable for 3 months.

But, Dan... You don't have many things installed on there. I get that many when the O/S has been installed for about 24 hours, and now I probably have about eight screens to scroll up and down through.

I do have about 400GB in this one though, so maybe that's why I have so many?

Tell me that's a new install!

Dan doesn't like updates.

Its a new install of course!
Sheesh, you think I use only that!
I have still more to come!
I was using Windows 2000 Professional when it was giving me some errors so I decided to switch to Windows XP Professional for a while. I like both.
