Uninstall files

Pete,

I've admitted on several occasions to having a Teflon Coated Memory but I think that I know that now ...... ...... but anyway, that's not what I meant.

I am currently running SP1a and will fully update and clean up that installation prior to taking a precautionary Ghost Image. I actually keep it up to date on the Critical Updates and will only have to clean it up a bit.
That way I will know the exact status of the system when the Image is created and when the Image has passed the integrity check, I will install SP2 on top.

The alternative route is to roll back to the first Ghost Image with XP only and install SP2 immediately but that involves more reinstallations and I doubt that there would be any benefits ...... ...... but if I have any problems after installing SP2 on top, then rolling back is a clear option.

Is there an option to NOT take those prisoners? I feel like not needing them with a fresh Ghost Image to hand.

RayH,

It seems like we think alike!

I did a search in Windows Explorer for files related to Windows Updates and found several *.log files. I also did a search for entries in the registry and there are several for each update.

I wonder how many left-overs remain if the uninstall folders are simply deleted and how many entries are missed by the registry cleaners.

I have some 40-50 MB and I think that I'll leave it alone.
