Asked about “windowsXP Security Update”

Security updates from MS

My question is about windowsXP Security Update.

My "Add/Remove" programs shows a huge number of updates including the

#2 update.

My Question is: Do I need to KEEP the ALL or is it OK to delete them after they are installed. How many are superceded by the next one?

I will be really impressed if someone can answer this question. many thanks Scotty

To approve a superseding update


1.
Approve the superseding update for installation on all computers for which the fix provided by the update is appropriate.
2.
Check the resulting status of the approval action on your computers. Note which computers show status as "Not needed" for the update, and then compare the properties of those computers with the properties of the update.
3.
Use the information available in the update properties to help you determine which previously released version of the updates are available. For example, in WSUS 2.0, look under "Supersedes" on the Details tab, and check the "Description" and KB article number entries if appropriate.
4.
Get information about the superseded, previously released versions of the updates (for example, view their properties).
5.
Approve the update for installation when you find a superseded update that seems appropriate for the remaining client computers.
6.
Repeat this process until all of your client computers are updated with the intended fix.

It depends on your system configuration and Free disk space you have on primary partition.

In add/rem progs. U can see a check box "Show Updates" above the list of s/w installed. just check out that to hide the updates installed. If U don't want to see them again.

In some conditions, if U feel that something slowing down any appl. means b'coz of security patch or update related to that appl. (e.g. Media Player) you can uninstall the update linked to the appl.

Seems like U don't have space or U need to free. Uninstall the updates, and better keep the security patches. In my opinion nothing will go wrong.

Thank you for taking the trouble to respond. I have 25gig of space and plenty of room.

The nub of my question is: If one security patch supersedes a previous one, why not delete the first one? Also with Service pack #2 you have to burn a new copy of your OS to be able to re-install, or be prepared to jump through a lot of hoops to get back to where you were.
