Hi,

I have a version of Windows XP professional that doesn't
have Windows update already enabled. I know that it is
possible to go to www.windowsupdate.com but this won't be
good because I want to give it to my sister.

I have found no mention of windows update in the start
menu areas (I expected to find it under System Tools). I'm
wondering if there is a file that i can download that
contains the config for this or if there is a reg setting
i can change.

thanks to anyone who can help me!

Right click on My Computer and click Properties , or click on the System
Control Panel and goto the Auto Updates tab.
 
Thanks Wes,

All the options on this section are greyed out. That's why
I'm thinking that it may have been disabled in the
registry.

Oh, I didn't understand that...

Do you have administrative rights on the PC? Is the Automatic Updates
service enabled and set to Auto?

Hmm...
