What we have here is a failure to communicate (or understand.)

What you linked to was the download for Windows Xp Service Pack 3
ISO
image - so you could burn the SP3 installation files to a CD and
use that CD to install Windows XP SP3 onto Windows XP systems that
needed it. It dod not include *all* the updates, etc. Yes - it
was cumulative - and contained a lot of stuff. More things (my
last count was 70+ish) have been released since SP3. I seriously
doubt another service pack will be released for Windows XP - after
all, two new operating systems have been released that replace
Windows XP. There may be a rollup in the future - but I would not
count on it.

What you can do it download the SP3 executable, the post-SP3 updates
(several ways to do this) and integrate most of them straight into
your Windows Installation media.

a lot of thanks to your answer,

or i would like to make an executable that when runned it would
install all the updates
i dont know how to do it, so if somebody knows it please help me

What ISO file?

The one you originally linked to? No can do. That is the Windows XP
Service Pack 3 installation - nothing more.

If you want to update your Windows XP installation media (that with which
you actually install Windows XP from scratch with) - sure. You can
integrate SP3 and many of the post-sp3 patches.

Details:

The link you gave is JUST Windows XP Service Pack 3 - just for installing
Service Pack 3 onto existing working Windows installations. You don't
update the ISO image - you just use it. There is no way to integrate
patches released after SP3 into the SP3 installation CD.

You can use the non-ISO (executable, all-in-one file) version of SP3 and
integrate Service Pack 3 into a Windows XP installation CD (a CD used to
install SP3 onto a system - not just the service pack - but the entire
operating system) and then you can get all post-SP3 patches (no - there is
no ISO image of this, no single CD/DVD with all of them on it from
Microsoft; it's a download them all, put them in a directory and use them
thing...) an integrate a majority of those into your now SP3 integrated
installation media(CD.)

Look into nLite and AutoStreamer. Two easier ways of doing what you may
want.

Each month Microsoft puts out that months (just that month) patches in
an ISO format for burning to DVD:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086 (Back to 2006)

You can see the critical (security and other) patches released for a given
month using the following:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms##-***.mspx

At the end of this line you see "ms##-***.mspx" .. If you simply replace ##
with the two-digit year and the *** with the three character month
abbreviation, you will see the list of "critical" and "important" patches
for that month (since it only happens once a month usually, if you check by
the second Tuesday (wait until afternoon) of each month - you should be
fine) - note that future months will not work.

As an example...

December 2004's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-dec.mspx

March 2005's patches..
None released.. so that one will fail...

May 2006's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-may.mspx

January 2007's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-jan.mspx

April 2008's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-apr.mspx

There's at least one third party tool that will download most of them for
you:
