Remove Windows XP & Internet Explorer updates

I want to clean my hard drive and want to know if I can remove Windowns XP and Internet Explorer updates with the utility add / remove programs in the control panel?

If you remove the updates, you remove the patches so make your computer vulnerable.

Instead, you can - delete the old - uninstall information

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

    In Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11, the custom under protection of follow-up list blocks the browser when the 'settings' link is selected.

    In searching the Internet, many people are affected by this problem, and from what I've read, Microsoft says that they cannot duplicate, but their forum is full of complaints.

  • Windows 7, Internet explorer 9... flash player

    I tried to install about 50 times now and nothing. I followed the instructions to a tee... installed and executed the malwear you recommended, disabled my anti-virus, uninstalled the old version and nothing. I have windows 7 32 bit and SECOND version 9. What I am doing wrong? It's crazy. And for a company of your size, not having support chat is shameful.

    Hi dh219,

    I faced the similar problem. To be more precise, if you visit a Web site that requires Flash Player using IE9, it keeps showing you that you need to update your Flash Player little matter how many times improve you it. The first place to check is the ActiveX filtering. Press ALT + T and in the menu that appears, remove the tick against ActiveX Filltering. If not, there is no option on the filtering ActiveX or Tick, go to resetting Internet Explorer.

    To reset the IE, Open Internet Options in Control Panel. Go to the Advanced tab and click on the button RESET (the last button on the tab). A minute before the restart of the browser. You can now access videos and javascripts. However, you may lose any changes you've made to your copy of IE, so you'll have to do it again if you want.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards.
