XP Pro System restore and windows update catalog

Hi,

After I applied all 28 post SP1 critical updates from Windows Catalog to a
new XP Pro with SP1 install by using a batch file to run each patch EXE, I
noticed that each update created its own restore point in System Restore.

I'd prefer to have only one restore point before I start to apply the
patches. I created a restore point before I started, but I can't see it
anymore on the system restore calendar because of all the patch restore
points.

If I turn off system restore before applying the patches, I will lose the
restore point just created. Catch-22.

I have to do this on another system. Pray tell, how can I prevent each
update from creating its own system restore point?

Thanks
 
Design an operating system that handles this YOUR way. Windows XP handles it
their way, because people are forgetful and don't create restore points
manually.
