ejsmith 0 Posted January 2, 2002 By definition, anything you chuck damages msft's installation. But you can chuck a whole slew of stuff that will never become an issue: Ever. You'll have to be more specific on stuff you want to chuck. The hotfix uninstallation stuff ($q46363284$) in the winnt folder can go. The entire windowsupdate folder can go; you'll download it again when you hit update. All the .bak files, .htm, .hlp (be careful with Office2k/2k2), .chm, .wav, .rmi, .mid, .log, .txt, .pdf, .old, .htt. The drivers.cab file can go; it's on the cdrom. There's others, but those come to mind quickly. Share this post Link to post
