sp2 "Service Pack Files" left over after install

[RalfHutter]

Just got done installing sp2. I opted to NOT backup the old files in case I wanted to uninstall sp2. After installation there is a folder in my WINNT directory called "Service Pack Files". It's 156megs. Can I delete these files? Are they just the installation files? Anyone know? Thanks....

These are the installation CABs. It's not a good idea to remove them as they are needed for any time changes are made to the system.

Unlike the old Windows NT, where you had to reapply the service pack any time you changed something, Win2K gets around this by pointing the files that need to be overwritten by the ones from the service pack, saving you that extra step.
