Thanks for the feedbacks!
DeViLbOi: the only thing I know how to do would be to popup http://windowsupdate.com in ie. For the time being I will switch to explorer whenever I see the systray icon and apply the updates there.
ilmcuts: I understand the "undocumented" issues and unfortunatly do not know how to handle the update icon. I will try the 2003-05-13 build though (I'm currently running 02-09 and last time I checked shellfront was down) but you would know if that worked under 05-13 wouldn't you? :)
pika: Yes I'm doing the same, my problem though is that I am a developer and use litestep at work. Work means I can't afford using a shell that takes more time to get things achieved. Now for 80% of the tasks I get things done faster in litestep (love the *hotkey!) but I also often have to change my configuration, install new apps etc... which is not as easily done in LS. So I keep installing litestep, getting frustrated by the missing functionalities (I understand very well that the problems come from having too many undocumented things in the shell), unstalling it, looking at ls.net saying "ooh I have to try this" and reinstalling litestep :)
I must say though that LS has come a loooonnng way since I first tried it back in 1998... In particular IMO OTS is one of the biggest advance (of course stability is also a good thing :) ).
Anyways enough rambling, I'll keep an eye on that windows update thing and will let you know if I find anything.
