Any way to install all those Win2k patches at once?

[mosdef]

I know there are a lot of various minor security and bug patches for Win2k floating around (updates.com has a lot of them). However, you are forced to restart the computer after each update is installed. Since there are many updates, is there anyway I can download them all and install them all using just one restart? Thanks!

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com allows you to download+install most of the updates in just one go.

Multiple hot fixes can be done. Just ignore the "Restart now" dialog box until all updates are done, then click on the restart button. Probably best to do in numerical order, in case one update supersedes a previous update. Currently have 26 pre-SP2 hotfixes and 3 pre SP3 hotfixes, plus several other updates: Windows Media Player build 1958, DX8a, VBRun60SP4.exe, mdac_typ260.exe, Jet40SP5_W2K.exe, Jet35sp3.exe, MSVBM50.exe, JavaVM update, IE5.5SP1, Game compatability update, etc. Some of these won't show up on Microsoft's update site. Function of www.updates.com has changed (less complete) since they have now combined with CNET's CatchUp service.
