Applying all the downloaded winxp updates at once

To save me lot’s of time I downloaded all the necessary winxp updates and put
them on a folder so that I can easily update all of my works computers. Now,
it’s very annoying to click on each installation individually, so is there a
way to apply all the updates without having to click on each one? A command
line perhaps? Any help will be much appreciated

There is a M$ guide on how to do this, have a go if you want it will
probably take a month or so to figure it out. I can't get past the
first paragraph without severe boredom setting in. These things must
be written by a PC.

Or there is this which is much easier to figure (relative to the
official version).

To batch install these things takes a lot more than a mere cmd line
and a few switches I am afraid. You are probably better off doing it
the one at a time way TBO.

I created a batch file that applies all the updates. Thank you for the info
