Windows 7: Unneeded updates listed

Gary,
Can you navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE

I do not recommend removing the office14 folder.

The only folder in the Office 14 folder is "1033" which contains the following. This may be the data base that ~~Derek~~ Noel referred to?

I didn't even know that the special purpose stslist existed. That's probably whats triggering your office updates.
Click on the stslist.chm file for info on stslist.

I suspect you're right Karl, have a look at the help file title.

I didn't know I had an Office folder until I started digging earlier today. At this point I have the updates hidden. There is no entry in Programs to uninstall it.

I'd unhide and install. Costs only a few megabytes.

Done. It only installed 4 out of 5 updates saying one was unneeded, 25.6MB. Space isn't a concern, just getting updates for something I didn't know I had and don't use. Thanks for the help!
