Subject: Windows XP Hotfix (Add or Remove Programs)

  Posted by: Chuck - Sustainer [169212110] Tue, May 25, 2004, 15:37
I have a feeling that the "Hotfix" are the occasional updates provided from Microsoft.

Under Add & Remove programs, they all show up. When sorted by "size" they are all listed without a size. I am wondering if these are necessary to keep on the computer or if they are things that, once downloaded can be deleted.

If anyone has info on this, it would be much appreciated.

Basically, these are the patches that get installed from www.windowsupdate.com.

If you want to see what each of those mean, try looking up the number here.
