WINXP SP3 question - I have several PCs all configured to download updates and apply when I say so. Recently, on some of them (the laptops, but that may not be relevant), when I shut down I see I have updates to apply, but I never saw the icon.I have a theory that updates get downloaded, and XP waits a few days to see if you power down before giving you the icon, but I can remember times when I saw the yellow icon, and waving the mouse over it produced "downloading XX%" and then a little while later I had a yellow icon and updates to apply. I don't like mysteries, or the nagging feeling that i should be powering down my desktops periodically. Can anyone shed any light on this?thanks!/j
