Service Pack 3
 

I downloaded SP3 and there is a note. . . "This software may include additional applications bundled with the software's installer file. Third party applications bundled with this download

may record your surfing habits, deliver advertising, collect private information or modify your system settings.

How does one delete the "additional applications" and use only SP3?
How could one delete everything except SP3 and copy to CD for other installations?

I would like to avoid the third party applications if at all possible. Thanks

sounds like you downloaded a fake sp3 , there is many.

the real sp3 is not released yet. its a beta here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

it provides no new functionality. The only way that it is of any use as it makes reinstalling easier - xp gold -> sp1 -> sp3 and you are up to date.
