Sorry. I thought the Hotfix Control program came from Microsoft. It doesn't.
You can obtain at the following link:
http://www.jpldata.net/~magnus/hotfixcontrol/

It's Freeware.

Do you know the exact name for this "Hotfix Control program" or its location
?

Thanks

Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and click on Product Updates. This
will scan your system and show you what Microsoft suggests you put/have on
your system, in several different categories such as Critical, Suggested,
etc. There is also a blue button at the top part of the resulting page that
says "Show Installed Updates". Clicking this button will show you the name
of the update, give a brief description and tell you if it is installed on
your system. You can then install the desired updates right from this page.
I use this site almost daily. You can also use the Hotfix Control program,
from Microsoft to tell you what is on a system.

Hi all,

Due to the large number of non-service pack specific seurity fixes issued by
Microsoft (for IE, Outlook Express etc), how can you find out what fixes
have been applied to a particular system (NT/Win9x)? Are there registry keys
that details this info?
