Hotfixes gone after installing SP3

[Guest franktee]

Hi All

I have noticed that after successfully installing SP3, almost all the

hotfixes listed in add/remove program were gone.

I'm not sure if they have replaced by the SP3 or if I have, somehow,

mistakenly deleted them.

Thanks for any helpful response

IIRC, the SP3 update will remove the individual hot-fixes from the

Add/Remove applet.

They were overwritten/removed.

That's normal.

SP3 has those patches already. You will start seeing more patches down the

road when post SP3 fixes are released.

True but the uninstall files and folders are intact (eg:

C:\Windows\$NtUninstallKB885884$). I still see hundreds of them in my WinXP

Pro box.
