This tutorial is for encarta 2004, but prolly it will work with 2005:

The directory of these updates to will vary depending on what version of Windows you are running.

To find the directory to download the updates to, I'd recommend searching your computer for "UPDATE04.TXT" or "04A*.its."

On Windows 2000/XP, it should point you to a directory similar to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Encarta Reference Library\L04AXLRD\Updates.

On Windows 98/Me it will be similar to: C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Encarta Reference Library\L04AXLRD\Updates.

The "L04AXLRD" part will varry from computer to computer.
