Kevin, I know for sure that for Windows XP and Windows 2000, you can set the policy so the system will do auto updates as long as you login as System Admin and configure the system to do so. There are few hurdles to overcome like some updates may require you to reboot in order to see it work. Check the following URL for instructions on enabling Autoupdate . http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/default.asp I hope this helps. Regards, Peter ======================================= S.
