When new updates are downlaoded from Microsoft, it prompts
you to install them. Is there a way to automate the
install process after the updates have been downloaded?
I don't want my users to have to manual tell Windows XP
Pro to go ahead and install the updates. I want XP to
install them automatically.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have
Don
