Backup update ?

[Geoff]

Hi,
Windows xp sp2.
I have updated with automatic updates from microsoft. Can anyone tell me
please where they are stored on my comp. Then I can backup them and when I
reinstall xp I hope to copy the updates back to same folder and install with
the auto update control panel. Save downloading them all again.
Is this possible?
Thanks


Geoff

No, not using Automatic Updates.

Geoff;
The installed updates are not reusable.
However you can download the updates from the Windows Update Catalog and
burn to CD for future use, #1 on this link:
