Beware! XP will load updates to be installed during shutdown. They are noted during the "standard" shutdown sequence by a flag that appears on the shutdown icon. Creating a desktop icon will shut down without installing the updates so it's advisable to at least infrequently use the standard method. Does anyone know if shutdown.exe has an option to do the install?
