    I am unable to find the folder "$NtServicePackUninstaller$" in my WinXP Pro. I do have SP2 installed and have the option to uninstall in ADD/Remove.

    I clicked on Uninstall SP2 and it gave me the option to continue, so I assume the uninstaller is in here somewhere. I did search for it and found nothing.

    Any help would be appreciated to find this folder as I would like to get rid of the SP2 uninstaller. I have not previously deleted it as far as I know.

    I have cleaned out the folder Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download and all the $NTuninstallxxxxxxx$ folders. I moved all of these to another drive until I am satisfied that I do not need them.

    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Edit: I changed my hidden files and folders to show and now I see it plainly. Sorry for the ignorance on my part, but maybe it will help someone else.

    Daniel
