Hi Jon,

Open My Computer, double-click on the icon for your C drive, then
double-click on the Windows folder.

Hi avaholic,

Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder by following this procedure......

First, stop the Automatic Updates Service
Go to Start>Run and key in:
services.msc
Click on OK or hit ENTER
In the right-hand pane of the Services window, right-click on Automatic
Updates and then select Stop

Now, navigate to C:\Windows folder, locate and rename the
SoftwareDistribution folder to SDOLD

Restart the Automatic Updates Service by re-opening the Services window,
right-click on Automatic Updates and then select Start

Please note that a "side effect" of renaming (or deleting) the
SoftwareDistribution folder is that you will lose your current Update History
listing.
