Hi. Please forgive my ignorance in asking this question!

I logged in as Administrator and applied all critical
updates at windowsupdate.com but then I logged out and
logged back in under another user name (who doesn't have
Administrator rights/not in Administrator group).

Stupid question: do these updates apply to Windows
2000/IE/Outlook/etc. as a whole? In other words, it
doesn't matter under what user name I log into, my whole
operating system should be okay and I don't have to go to
windowsupdate.com again as another user, right?

Your assumption is correct. :-)

Just make sure that there aren't any more available, and
don't forget to check back every month.

Also, don't forget to patch your Office products, at

Thank you for your reply (and for posting that other
website I wasn't aware about).

Yes, I guess I WAS correctly assuming that updates applied
to Windows 2K, Internet Explorer, etc. while logged in as
Administrator would apply to the whole thing in general,
regardless of what user name I was logged in as.

I just wanted to make sure since you know what they say
about assuming... ;)
