oops - shoulda told those folks that do not remember - here is how to un-install one of MS's "WONDERFUL" patches
--- From the Start menu, click Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs.
--- Check the "Show updates" box.
--- Scroll to the bottom of the window, and locate the patch to uninstall. Microsoft labels the patches here by their corresponding Knowledgebase (KB) document number, so you'll need to nail that down. (The KB number is listed in the title of the security bulletin, and can most easily be found by browsing the Microsoft Security Bulletin Search site.)
--- Select the patch and click "Remove."
