MS IE/OE patch problem

While on a trip, I used XP on a new computer. The owner is a beginner
and will use IE/OE, but now they are virgin, no patches at all.

I went to the MS update website and things have changed. I wanted to
download the latest critical patches for them. I understood recently
that MS released each new IE patch so it superceded all previous IE
patches. But MS has changed and now the MS website scans the local hard
drive and announced he needed 18 critical updates.

That seems to be the ONLY way you can get a patch. He didn't want to do
that- I don't blame him, as some of the unneeded patches can cause
computer problems. Each computer reacts to those patches differently.
IIRC, you could deselect each patch, but that needs research to
determine the choice.

Is there a URL to only download the latest comprehensive IE 6 and OE
patches for XP?

If I understand you correctly

go to Windows update/ and on the left hand side "windows update catalog"
if it isn't there go to "personalize windows update" and add it
