Using XP SP2 all updates done via windows update

Mindhunter, when you say all updates is this by Express or Custom update? Reason I ask is we have had issues in the recent past, because of an update be missed. Microsoft only pushes "Critical (their definition of critical, not mine) Updates" in the Express or Auto settings. There are more updates listed if you use the "Custom Updates that need to be loaded as well.
