First i want to say hi to you guys as im new to this forum! I lurked arround some time and read the windows xp unattended guide, now i decided to join you and ask you some questions. I admit it: I like it to reinstall windows. Just to keep my system as clean as possible. But now with all these Blasters and Lovesans all arround i really want to tighten up security of my pc. I always did install all the hotfixes, but the way i did after every install was a pain in the ***. I always re-visited windows-update site and downloaded the whole package., because i couldn't keep track of it. So how do you guys keep track of all the hotfixes and even more important how do i install these hotfixes easily with a fresh install . I know that the way to go is to make an unattended installation. But how can i tell in which order i should install them and how can i keep this unattended cd state of the art the easy way ( i don't want to write some lines of code in a batch file just to install another hotfix. i know im lazy) MfG.Eversor P.S. Looking forward to be part of MSFN...
