Windows updates
I recently helped a friend whose OE would not save password. We eventually solved problem by deleting a passwords folder in
regedit. Apparently this is a fault of XP. So I have now advised friend about Windows Update - I know this should happen automatically but only if she is online for some time. Does it matter if she is online via OE or does it have to be via IE for updates to kick in?

As long as the computer has a current internet connection, it doesn't matter if IE or OE is open at all in regards of downloading & installing WU files.

As Darren says, you don't need to be in IE to receive automatic updates, as long as the pc is connected to the internet.
You will have to check that automatic updates are set up correctly to automatically download however.
Go to Start menu | Settings | Control Panel | Automatic Updates and then choose one of the download / install options there.

1. Notify before downloading any updates and again before installing them on my computer.
2. Download the updates automatically and notify me when they are ready to be installed.
3. Automatically download the updates and install them on the schedule that I specify. (Then you have a choice of every day, etc. and time to install).

Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

Hi Noo Noo
You're always there when I need you
I see that I can use no problem but how do I get the banana to actually appear rather than just a hyperlink to the banana. When I go the smiley.onegreatguy.net website I have to copy and paste the link underneath the particular smiley.. I must be doing this wrong but what?

no spaces like noo said on either side the the img tags
Code tags don't work properly for removing all tag references.. just reply to this and you'll see it in the quoted text

ok
I will try I copy and paste the line above and it should come out as the dancing banana.....
Ha it works
So why didn't it work on my post of 3/9??? I've checked and it's exactly the same......? Is it something to do with:
"Code tags don't work properly for removing all tag references" ???
But what exactly does this mean?
And thank you eboy BUT ..... copy works fine but paste is greyed out when I try to put it in here........

Hi I have just tried this with another friend and cannot find automatic updates in control panel - both classic view and category view. I have gone around the computer looking for it but not having any luck.
Please advise.

Assuming that this is still XP we are talking about?
What service pack are you at? You may need to update to SP1 to get the most up to date "automatic update" client. If that makes any sense.

Yep definitely talking XP here. So you are saying that before I see an Automatic update icon in control panel, I need to have downloaded XP service pack one?
Second question - at the moment as soon as the computer goes online it starts downloading an update. At the moment I can find no way of controlling the way this happens (because there is no automatic update icon in control panel). If it downloads 18% whilst online and then I disconnect, will it start at 19% when I reconnect or go right back to the beginning of the download?
