    If you are pleased with Vista SP1 and would like to delete the old uninstallation files to save diskspace.....

    then type the following command in DOS


    vsp1cln.exe


    Saves lot of space! (Approximately 900 MB)

    If I needed the space, I'd do this. But, I don't, so I won't. :D

    A neat tip though!

    I wouldn`t go there just yet.
    Keep it, SP1 isn`t stiff as a rock just yet.
    At some point, you might actually have to revert back.

    you're most welcome!

    I mean, even if one doesn't need the space! why on earth leave obsolete files that you'll never need! I wouldn't EVER uninstall SP1! Vista was a joke before SP1

    ^^^ I'm pretty sure you are spamming, this is the fourth time I've seen you post this.

    I ran this tool right after I installed SP1. Everything has been fine since.
