Windows 98 / Me / 2000 / XP is a component Windows Update, which allows the Internet to download the necessary updates to the operating system. For Windows 95 (and, likely, Windows NT), you can install this component from the site "Microsoft Windows Update" (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com). Using Windows mechanism Update, on the one hand, it is convenient, as is the operating system configuration analysis and encouraged to download and install only what you need on the computer. On the other hand, there is often a desire to install these updates on another computer or save them in case you reinstall the operating system not to download everything in a new way.

In Windows 95/98 (and, probably, in Windows Me) update files are downloaded to the directory "Program Files \ WindowsUpdate" and immediately after installation are automatically deleted. It can help to interrupt the installation process immediately after downloading files. You can then copy the update files that are typically installation exe-files and run them on the installation. But in practice it is difficult to catch the right, so you can only in the process of downloading the latest copy of the selected updates have uploaded earlier. In Windows XP (and probably in the Windows NT / 2000) updates the files are in the directory "% USERPROFILE% \ Local Settings \ Temporary Internet Files" and they can be out again (% USERPROFILE% - is the directory of your profile, usually "C: \ Documents and Settings \ username ").

However, the most convenient way - watch it via Windows Update, which updates you need and download them from the site "Microsoft Download Center" (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?LangID=17&LangDIR=RU). Most updates and additions can be easily found there.
