    I'm looking for the list of all the add-ons like "WindowsXP-KB917021-v3-x86-ENU.exe ".

    Is there the whole list to scroll at once?

    I am sure Microsoft would love hearing their new Wireless client called an add-on.

    In any case, follow the method used to create a download library of critical to optional available downloads from Microsoft by using the Microsoft Catalogue component of Microsoft Update: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows-Update-Catalog.html

    You might find this useful, as it is a clickable resource to all of Microsoft's RSS feeds, including those pertaining to Windows XP, Vista, and Server product. This includes RSS feeds for their KB article announcements: http://msdn.microsoft.com/rss.xml

    It's not me who "invented" that name for WPA2-capable version of their plain WZC...

    Thanks for the links.
    I was looking for the list where all usefull non-security related (however, KB917021 is in fact the security update!) downloads were presented.

    booBot--Some of the more recent non-critical Updates, specific to your PC, are available from the Windows (or Microsoft) Update site, by clicking the Custom button instead of the Express buttton before you start the scan.
    And a way to access the whole Windows Update Catalog site directly is http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp

    I never use Express update, I always read first - what they are going to push onto my machine.

    I never saw the really usefull things like "KB917021" to appear on the list of updates...

    And you will not.
    That is why the Welshjim suggestion was not being made to you earlier.
