I did a Windows Update for 12 Important and Recommended Updates on 6/1/2009.
Ten days later I had to do a System Restore to a date before those updates.

What is the status of those 12 updates? Are they still there? Do I have to
install them again? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks, CB

Oops

Yes

Update!

I'm new to Vista, but think I'm correct.
 
If you have a slow connection and don't want to go thru the download again,
save the folder

C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

to an external drive before doing the Restore.

Restore it after doing the System Restore and you won't have to re-download
those updates.
It's too late for you this time, but it might help in the future.

Not quite. Not all the Updated reside in there. Only the ones that can be
uninstalled (spunist) Best to reload all that is needed fresh when reformatting or
restoring
