Of course, the PC mfgrs. don't provide documentation on what everything in Windows 
dir is for. There's plenty of documentation on the net on slimming down XP, etc., 
if you bother to take the time. 

You can't just eliminate the profile directories under Docs & Settings, because "you" 
don't use them. Some software installations use them. And, it'd be foolish to use 
trial and error on the Windows directory. 

Each of the folders in this directory can safely be deleted: $NtUninstall KBxxxxxx$ 
as long as you know you won't be Uninstalling any of those Hotfixes/updates. As I 
said a search engine will lead you to other suggestions.

As for the pre-installed junk mfgrs. put on a system, most of that can go but be 
sure you know. For example, on an HP system there'll be loads of HP related software 
showing in Add/Remove. For the trialware junk installed, PCDecrapifier will clear 
out a lot of it.

As for your ranting in your most recent post, nobody wants to hear it. I seriously 
doubt anyone will be interested enough to scroll through that unformatted mess. Have 
a look.. would you want to take the time to read it?
