Wen looking in the C:\Windows folder of my XP Pro system I  
noticed a folder with the name $Ntservicepackuninstall. It was a  
hidden folder, Read only of almost 350 mb containing over 2,000  
files.  From its creation date it seems to have been produced when  
I installed SP2.     
I am always looking for ways of removing unnecessary items from 
my C:  drive and if necessary storing them on another partition on 
which  free space is not so important. 
I wonder whether it would be safe to move the folder in question.   
Presumably it would only be needed again if I decided to revert to  
the original XP, i.e. without sP2.  

Any advice would be appreciated,

Douglas
