Greetings,
I need to know how I can find MS Windows Update files without going through Windows Update. Now that MS have revamped the site, there's no way to selectively d/l material. I'm thinking maybe there's a direct route to say, security patches, or maybe even a 3rd party hosts some of the files????
Anny help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Easy. microsoft.com -> downloads -> program
this is with a search string "security" for winxp
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?productID=4C937A02-BAE0-4317-A1A9-0C56CD979D05&freetext=security&DisplayLang=en

p.s. come over to Linux. :m:

yeah, simply dont use it!
i even think you can go to the update website and download them manually (without using the autoseach code it has)

may i ask why you dont want to use it?
