Location of data by default Windows Update has changed and needs to be repaired.

Original title: PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS UPDATE LOCATION DATA; I have a windows vista IE 8 32 and 64-bit system.

I can't get my windows update to automatically update. I used the "fix it" tool Microsoft and he finds issues and some fixed (as windows update components), but it wouldn't fix the other issue. It is said that the location of the default data Windows Update has changed and it needs to be repaired. The "fix it" tool would not fix it so I don't know what to do. There, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • How can I keep windows update to change the location of folders of rediredcted

    My work computer is in a domain.  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Due to the large size of the 'My pictures' folder I redirected it to on of my local readers rather than let him lie on our server (Windows 2003 SBS).  I also redirected "My music" folder on a local drive and the 'My Favorites' folder on the server where the "My Documents" folder is also.  It works very well without any problem, most of the time.  In some way, some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of the "My pictures" folder on the server.  When this happens, I know that as soon as I login after the reboot because it will take about an hour before the computer can be used.  The reason for this is that the folder is moved (not copied) on the server with a connection to ethernet 100 base-T.  My another stay of redirected folders where they are supposed to be, just the 'My pictures' folder is moved.  I tried to find all the registry entries that have to do with the location of this folder and found only two, those who originally, I changed to redirect the folder in the first place.  This has happened for the 4th time, when I greeted Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (13/02/13).  It becomes very boring and time would trust because I have to put the folder on the local drive and reset the folder redirection and the whole process takes about an hour, plus time lost after reboot.  Help please.
