Unneeded updates listed
I just got my monthly dose of Windows 7 updates and to my surprise, these were listed: 
I don't have Office 2010 installed though yet they want me to have its updates. I did recently install MS Streets and Trips 2011, would that trigger Office updates? That is the only MS software I have other than Windows.  | My System Specs |

do you open up WORD? Windows Explorer opened Karl.
I wonder what I would foul up if I just deleted the Office programs folder?
BTW, this is the PC in my specs, not a laptop.  Specs updated, sorry for the confusion. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
