Do not delete them,,save them like Leo said.
If you need to reinstall Windows XP for some reason, and reinstall SP 2 you will find it will not install without them.
Also SP 2 will not uninstall without them.

My computer has always been slow. Deleting the $NtUnstallKB* files may help. No?

Probably not.

well, the Windows Desktop Search has more to do with Microsoft ignoring their API's for their software and less to do with those folders.

Yet another gripe about Microsoft though...

yes, leave them!
A while ago I installed windows desktop search on my pc, which slowed it down to a crawl.
I then used ccleaner to clean up my system and had it remove these folders.
I wish I hadn't...cos I couldn't remove wds anymore.
I finally got the folder from someone, but omg...
So, leave those folders, or as Leo says, at least burn them onto a dvd before deleting them!!!!
