seeing i'm not a windows user anymore i have forgotten a few things 'bout XP.

does anyone know where XP downloads it's updates to?

i've got one XP box that was updated last fall and one that was just built.

is there any possible way to pull the updates from one box to the other?

BTW i'm on a very slow dialup so downloading 72 updates from MS would take forever:boohoo:

LOL I think it's setup to cache it and delete as soon as it is installed or aborted.

Did you ever notice that wind@ws Update in XP downloads it's updates and you never notice it hogging your bandwidth (Even at 56Kb)? wind@ws XP has built-in trickle download capabilities, all you need to do is use a very undocumented little utility from the XP support tools to use it!
