Can I just delete that folder too?

Yes you can.

I hope you don't mind me pointing out a small criticism in what you say concerning visiting the MS update site on a regular basis. Not everyone will know that MS issues updates on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. You could add that fact to what you say rather than just telling people to visit the update site on a regular basis. I think this could help some to know when exactly to go to the update site.

Thats ok. It is actually a good idea. I will look into it.

Impossible with at least a few of my installed applications as they are no longer made. Partition Magic for example. The same with Paintshop 9 as Jasc sold out to Corel. I stuck to v9 as I didn't like the program much after Corel took over.

I also have programs that are not updated anymore, but it is meant for as general advice. Lot of our users are not knowledgeable about computers as you are. So for them it is a reminder to check these things.

IE 8 will be installed once I've got the MS updates. It's very rare that I use IE anyway as I've been using FireFox for the past 3 to 4 years.

Same here. We had few users that have had some browsing issues with IE8, so look out for that.

So go ahead and update your Windows. Please post that you have read this so this can be archived.

Deleted that folder now.

I've now found that I have a minor annoyance which is links in emails etc opening in IE rather than FireFox as they used to. Once I've updated windowns I'll get that sorted & then make an image of my c drive.

Thanks again & all the best to you

I guess al thats left to be said is that you can now close this thread & archive it.
