Need some info concerning single boot (restart) with multiple Microsoft critical Update installs. I have downloaded all the critical updates (relative to my requirements) that were issued after installation of XP sp2, and saved the exe files to disc. I am not aware of any rollup being issued after XP sp2, and it is "labor intensive" to install all the individual patches and boot after each one. Any one experienced with multiple MS exe installs with a single boot? Recommendations?

Whether updating after a clean install, new computer, or upgrade I had rather secure XP sp2 as much as possible before accessing the web…but was concerned that I might have to go on line and let Microsoft install the Genuine Advantage Validation Tool first. A little extra education in this area would be appreciated.
