finally had enough of auto updates for windows using up our data allowance, so is there a way to download the patches each month on one computer and then save them to install on the other 4 we have in the house they are all XP some home and some Pro.

Thanks

Yep, this possible, bit of a hassle to start with but once set up it's Ok. First select TOOLS in IE. Now WINDOWS UPDATE. From the left hand column select USE ADMINISTRATORS OPTIONS. Follow the instructions in the first line.

Basically, this allows you to download the updates individually to a folder of your choice. Now copy on to your flash drive and you are in business.

Hope this helps.

Going with this option have turned updates on all comps to notify but not download or install and when the next batch comes out will give it a try.
