Windows XP SP2 createas a HIDDEN folder named C:\Windows\$NTServicePackUninstall$
that contains over 416 MB. This folder is used only if you want to remove SP2 and
can be safely deleted to free up space on your hard drive.
In order to delete you must find and open the folder and locate the file "rtcimsp.dll"
then cut and paste that file to a different location. Next go back to the $NTServicePackUninstall$
folder and delete all the remaining files. Then delete the folder itself. Next
locate the file "rtcimsp.dll" and delete it. It appears as if you must do this in
this order in order to make it work.
This seems to work but procede at your own risk, I would appreciate any comments
on this procedure.
