So how can I make the service pack 1 not removable, please explain like

Service Pack 1 contains a binary called VSP1CLN.EXE, a tool that will
make the Service Pack package permanent (not removable) on your system,
and remove the RTM versions of all superseded components.

Woulda been nice if you'd included instructions on its use:

To run Windows Vista SP1 File Removal Tool, open a command prompt
(Cmd) or simply press “Winkey + R” keyboard shortcut. Then enter the
following command:

Vsp1cln.exe

I noticed hundreds of folders starting with AMD64. I assume they
also include Intel 64 bit, and AMD64 was chosen because it's easier
on the brain than EM64T. The danger is that someone will say, "I
have Intel, not AMD," and delete them all.
