• What old windows vista updates can be removed safely

  I am running Vista family premium, I want to delete the old updates to free up disk space. Updates can be removed without creating problems? New remove old version of the same problem?

  Updates will have only the space they need and remove only you will leave vulnerable and you will be prompted to update again anyway.

  However, you can use disk cleanup-

• Older update can be removed from the computer

  original title: updates on my system< sony="" vaio="">

  I have an old laptop that has had many updates over the years somethings say this cannot be removed of course there are others who show that they can be removed, butthese removable without doing damage to my system? operating Windows and updates to internet explorer. Some are dated back to 2004 & 2005 that I want to do it safely.

  There is no such thing as 'old' updates.

  They are there to protect against a vulnerability or to provide updates to the o/s.

  The purpose of take away their defeats being there.

  If you need more space, you must put in a bigger hard drive.

  Or get an external hard drive and put your data on it.

  Gerry C J Cornell - a regular contributor here and I quote:

  You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

  The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous.

  I have them would be reduced by 700 MB.

  Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore.

  Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output.

  When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

  A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline.

  Setting the default value is 3% of the walk.

  Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%.

  In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change.

  At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough.

  In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%.

  However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive.

  In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc.

  These files can be compressed or not compressed.

  If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue.

  If not compressed you can compress.

  Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space.

  On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size.

  File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, Tools, Dr. Watson, and make sure the box in front of "Add to the existing rating" is NOT checked.

  This means that the next time that the log is written it will crush rather than adding to the existing file.

  The setting of maximum size by default for Event Viewer logs is too big.

  Reset the maximum value for each log from 512 KB to 128 KB and set it to crush.

  Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup to empty your trash and delete temporary Internet files.

  Also select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup, more Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point.

  Run Disk Defragmenter.

• Can I remove the old update files that have already been applied?

  Good evening! I just a quick may be a dumb question... when I've updated my computer, if I remove the before update... like when a service pack number, as for example I downloaded the number of service pack 2 What do I do with the number of the service pack 1? delete it?

  Depends on the operating system - Windows

  Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

  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.

  For Vista and Windows 7

  The update uninstall method in Windows Vista is quite different from that in Windows XP.

  Uninstaller for each update folder no longer exists in Vista and the uninstall information is stored by the Volume Shadow Copy service.

  After each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files.

  So with Vista, it's a differential backup, rather than a full backup files for uninstall
  in Windows XP.

  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

  So basically, you are unable to manually delete the uninstall it from the computer.

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

  It seems that it is possible that you have a virus. There are some that will hide your files/folders so that you don't normally see them. I strongly suggest to run a scan on your computer with your antivirus/antimalware software. If you need to, you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner, it's free:
