...are you sure? I think I have it installed, but this is all I see in
terms of wga* files in the Windows directory tree:

c:\windows>dir /sbf wga*
C:\WINDOWS\WGA.log
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\cd6812fef1fd3e79d9350b24a76108f1\update\wga.cat
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\cd6812fef1fd3e79d9350b24a76108f1\update\wgacustom.dll

None of this would have been deleted following your instructions.

(FWIW and AFAIK, WINNT was the default name for the Windows directory for
NT versions up to and including Win2k, but WinXP moved back to using
WINDOWS as default name.)
