| 235579 | 2004-05-11 00:15:00 | I am running Windows XP Professional. For the last few days, an MS update (#819696) has automatically downloaded onto my PC. At the prompt, I have clicked "install". Is it normal to receive the same (?) update each day, or am I missing something here? Where on my PC are these update files stored? I have tried to locate them to compare file size and date stamp :( |

| 235583 | 2004-05-11 03:35:00 | The location of ms updates are C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate you have to have show hidden files and folders checked in windows explorer tools/view Also look in C:\WINDOWS the folders named like this are updates. $Uninstall |

| 235586 | 2004-05-14 11:56:00 | I think that if you go to the Windows Update webpage and click on update history (or something like that) you will get a list of all updates which have been installed on your PC. | rodb (1561) | ||
