OK, I think it's mostly finished. All I need are a few guinea pigs, web
page proofers, etc. The files I am offering work for ALL legacy Windows
systems, 95 through 2000 (XP and 2003 are the only ones MS provides
updates for, and the info is already in Vista.)

The only system I haven't tested yet is NT4. If anyone has one they're
willing to test it on, I'd sure appreciate it. Otherwise, it will be
another several days before I can dig out my copy of that and load it into
a VPC.

Might as well start at the beginning:

Once I'm satisfied, I'll be broadcasting the news to all MS public
newsgroups. Heck, I bet even most XP users don't know they need it, and it
isn't installed by Automatic Updates or suggested by using Express option
at Windows Updates. Only the Custom option. Seems real stupid to me, but
the logic MS uses to handle Updates often escapes me. Like making IE7 a
Recommended Update, but then having Automatic Updates install it. Dumb,
dumb, dumb!

PLEASE!! If you're not reasonably adept at using Windows, backing up
Registries, restoring same, etc., DON'T try these Unofficial Updates until
others have proven them out.

Yep, all the security updates load automatically in XP if windows update is
left at default settings. And, for some reason, the recent IE 7.0 is
considered same category. There is some protection added as ZA Pro doesn't
hardly see personal headers anymore with IE 7 running vs IE 6. However IE 7
did create some problems here, so I uninstalled (yes, there's an uninstall
feature). Apparently, I'm not the only one with problems with IE 7 per
windowsxp.general newsgroup.

Wish I could help with the Time Zone update in NT 4.0 Last time ran NT 4.0
w/SP4 was 3 years ago.
