No harm in deleting them. Though if you have plenty of room on your
hard drive creat a new folder and move them.

Well.. thanks to a lot of helpful people in here, I got the Update
completed. Without a hitch, I might add. I realize that's a bit of
premature boasting. There's still loads of Apps I haven't tried yet, but
my browser, mail, and Xnews are working without a hitch. :)
I set the auto-update to notify me rather than downloading and installing
crap I may not want/need. I hate it when the system tries to take over
like
that. :D
Okay.. First question. (You knew there would be questions, right?) I
looked in the Windows directory and found 30+ folders that all begin and
end with ($) the dollar sign. Why the hell couldn't they have put all
these
under a master directory?? Sloppy..sloppy..
I suppose someone already told how to avoid this very thing and I missed
it
or skimmed over it.
Am I stuck with them or can they be moved somewhere else or ideally,
deleted?
I know they are uninstall files, but if I ever decide to uninstall, I'll
wipe the disk and start from scratch.
So, whattayathink?
