I let my systems get the updates automatically, having set them to check for updates at midnight each day, and if I get an update alert from Microsoft during the day I can normally stop for long enough to let it go through. Since I distribute custom software from my PC's to my clients, I'm paranoid about having everything up-to-date, security updates particularly, as well as having my AV software on auto-update as well. Can't afford to be trojaning my clients!
YMMV, of course John Coyle Brisbane, Australia ========= About 80-90% of the security updates for XP are for Outlook. If you don't use Outlook (I, for instance, use AOL) you don't need them. But, yes, there are other types of updates. A lot of them are language updates. One can still go to the web page and selectively choose the updates one wants. Marnie aka Doe :-)
