    How to use RESTART instead of SHUTDOWN to install updates

    I use Vista Premium with Windows Media Centre (LOVE IT!) to record programs
    at all hours of the day. I would like to be able to use RESTART instead of
    SHUTDOWN for installing updates so that I can start the install before bed,
    but not have the computer off all night. I have done searching but can not
    find the answer. Thank you for your assistance.

    That is not an option, sorry.
