why do you want to? Surely they are automatically saved in your program files. :confused: |

Well I would say so they dont' have to be downloaded again, after a reformat. I would also like an answer to the question. ;) |

AFAIK updates that are downloaded as part of the windows update process are installed and then the download deleted. To save for future instals you would have to download the larger updates intended for corporate use. |

Update/SP information is also held in your i386 folders, although I'm not sure how much info is there from auto updates installed direct from the web. I suspect the info is just a record to prevent newer files being over written by older when you do a repair (this includes driver and dll files) and un-install info if the update can be un-installed |
