Hotfixes gone after installing SP3

Hi All
I have noticed that after successfully installing SP3, almost all the
hotfixes listed in add/remove program were gone.
I'm not sure if they have replaced by the SP3 or if I have, somehow,
mistakenly deleted them.
Thanks for any helpful response

IIRC, the SP3 update will remove the individual hot-fixes from the
Add/Remove applet.

They were overwritten/removed.

That's normal.

SP3 has those patches already. You will start seeing more patches down the
road when post SP3 fixes are released.

True but the uninstall files and folders are intact (eg:
C:\Windows\$NtUninstallKB885884$). I still see hundreds of them in my WinXP
Pro box.
