Is it possible to set the local user account that's signed in and give it
permissions to install Windows Updates? I know that you can pick certain
accounts but will the yellow exclamation point appear under the user account
if you set it in the AU service.

I just want to cut down on logging into the workstations as administrator
and installing.

Sad news: A few hours ago, Microsoft XP self-destructed itself by disabling
all the security update websites, especially McAfee, Windows Update, Avast!,
and AVG Technologies! Every time I click on any security website on its link,
nothing shows up, and it always fails to connect! It seems my computer itself
is self-destructing! Even the link to Microsoft Customer Support won't work
anymore because it's permanently disabled. Is there a phone number for
Microsoft Customer Support? :(
