But I've repeatedly seen it said to absolutely not touch. Never anything contrary to that, while at the same time stating that the $Nt***$ directories were safe to remove if you were certain of no need to un-install the coinciding patch. I've searched on this stuff many times, and thats always be the answer. On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 1:16 PM, Michael B. Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why not? > > Regards, > > Michael B.
