Perform windows updates on limited users account

We don't have domain/active directory here, but have about 8 pc's (xpprosp2)
with static IP's that are limited users and would like a way to automatically
load windows updates when they are available. Currently it won't allow
because machine is not logged on as administrator. Is there a way to make
this work w/o logging on as an admin and performing the updates as they come
up?

If you don't mind that the limited user would know the admin id/pass, you
could use 'runas'

start/run, type:
HH mk:mad:MSITStore:%windir%\Help\localsec.chm::/windows_security_runas.htm

Won't work for this scenario as we don't want the pass exposed. Anyone else
have any thoughts?
