You have to be careful when using this. Sometimes Microsoft patches require a re-boot to complete. It sets up an application which autoruns on next startup. Some subsequent patches require that the previous patch be COMPLETELY installed. I've had a couple of machines screw up very badly as a result of this, and have had to remove a series of patches, go back and re-install the offending patch, and then apply the subsequent patches. VERY annoying. Documentation does not always specify that previous patches are necessary, or that the previous patch re-boot is required. ego Edward G. Orton, GWN Consultants Inc.
