$NtServicePackUninstall$

$NtUninstall*

I saw an article in the knowledge base that stated how to safely
remove the $NtServicePackUninstall$ file, and it also instructed
to remove the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
\Windows 2000 Service Pack x

My registry has:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
\Windows 2000 Service Pack
(without the service pack number)
and with the element DisplayName having the content:
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

I'm not sure if MS means to remove DisplayName, or to remove the
folder icon that says "Windows 2000 Service Pack"

Can someone clarify?

Delete the sub-key named
Windows 2000 Service Pack

The following spu.reg file will do it:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Windows
2000 Service Pack]
