Small consolation, but when I do Windows re-installs for others I always
use the Autopatcher for updating. People who know a lot more than I have
plowed through the list and ignored the ones which don't actually serve
the user, plus it changes default settings to be more sane. Bittorrents

Simply install Windows, then Autopatcher (FULL), then add any updates
they have released, and run it right behind your Windows install. Once
finished, delete. Keep a copy on CD, of course, it's pretty large.
