Hi. Anyone know how I can back up the updates for WinXP Media Center (or any
other recent NT version)?

I used to find them before in c:\program files\windows update or
c:\%windir%\wutemp or c:\wutemp but now they're nowhere to be found. They
just download, install and force me to reboot and I'm left saying stuff that
unfit for writing here.

Look in C:\Windows\$NTUninstall$ Folders.

Those are backups for the files replaced by the updates. Where do the
updates get downloaded, that's what I'd like to know.
