mikesw Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have two neighbors that have Windows XP. A ) the first neighbor has a desktop and when windows hotfixes are downloaded and installed,the KB number , date etc are shown in the add/remove programs list. PC is DELL B ) the second neighbor has a laptop and when windows hotfixes are downloaded and installed,the KB number, date "ARE NOT" shown in the add/remove programs list, but programs suchas MSBA v2.x and other such non-MSoft tools show that the KB numbers are installed. PC is HPHow does one control whether Windows XP displays the KB numbers in the add/remove program?Can this be changed at will? That is I assume one can change a registry value such thatthe KB numbers are displayed in the add/remove program and changed again to make them notvisible.How does one control whether the windows KB fixes are directly integrated into Windows XP or notwith each automatic download and install from MSoft? Is there are registry setting for this too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 In Add or Remove Programs try placing a check in the Show updates check box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 there is a checkbox at the top of the add/remove programs window to show/hide windows updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesw Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 In Add or Remove Programs try placing a check in the Show updates check box!Thanks guys! I never noticed that checkbox in the add/remove programs. Do you happen to know how to do this in Windows 2000 too? The add/remove windows doesn'tcontain this checkbox. I have Windows 2000 Professional at work and it is always showing theKB numbers that have been installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
