| 234579 | 2004-05-05 23:51:00 | Hi Guys For some reason, my PC has lost the icon/prog for Windows update from the START menu. I have recollections of an icon in the Systray as well. How do I get these back as, athough I have been doing manual updates from the MS site, it would be nice to have these back as a reminder to do the updates. I thought this may have been a component of WWindows but can not find any reference to this under the Help files. Any ideas please Cheers HH |

| 234583 | 2004-05-06 00:10:00 | Ahh... IIRC, It's installed with the Service Pack... Am I on the wrong track here? Try running c:\windows\system32\wupdmgr.exe That's where the shortcut points to IIRC. Chill. |

| 234584 | 2004-05-06 00:37:00 | Hi Chill That is indeed the prog. Have created a shortcut and put it in All Users Startup Menu and this has got around this issue. In Control Panel, System, Auto Udates, this was turned on but I'm not sure how this was finding the pog in Windows\Sys32 . I'll see if this works correctly by viewing the update log file. IIRC ?? is this a new acronym. IBM have a good one "AMD" It stands for Air Movement Device. You and I would refer to this as a FAN. Go figure. Thanks all HH |

| 234585 | 2004-05-06 01:11:00 | IIRC = If I Remember Correctly I dont use Windows often, so Im going by memory basically.... Try this: Click Start Click Run type in: C:\Windows\System32\wupdmgr.exe If that is the correct file-name then it'll run. If its not, then Im sure somebody else here with WinXP can find the real name for you :-) Chill. |
