Hi,

I have win vista sp1.

I want to know where windows keeps its update files backups?

I want to save them for future use so that I dont have to re-download
them in future?

Regards.

Oc9ine.

You can download individual updates from the Catalog and save to be
installed later.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what
you want, Click the "Go To Download Basket" link. Type in or browse to the
location where you want the updates saved to and then Click the "Download
Now" button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.

How to download updates and drivers from the Windows Update Catalog or from
the Microsoft Update Catalog

Search for a download

For security and other patches released for a given month :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms##-***.mspx
Replace ## with the two-digit year
Replace *** with the three character month abbreviation

Providing there are releases for that month, you will see the list of
"critical"
"important" patches for that month
Check on the 2nd Tuesday of each month - later in the day.

For just the current listing:

Good luck
