Once I know a Windows update has been working without problems I remove the files beginning $NT . . .  Have done this on many Dimensions without harm for a long time.

Some entries should not be removed if you plan on uninstalling certain updates later, e.g., from WMP10 back to WMP9.  Microsoft MVP Doug Knox has written a great tool that removes the hotfixes that the system does not absolutely need:  http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm

I back up these files to CD-R prior to removal from my HD. You never know what future problem might require uninstalling one of those updates.
