Ok guys
I have made nlited XP cd with all critical updates and optional ones in windows update site as well as others found by serching microsft website .

Now I came to testing that , no critical or optional updates shown in Windows Update site . this is good but I have install some optional hotfixes that do not appear at all in Windows Update site like WindowsXP-KB896626-v2-x86-ENU.exe .

How can I know which critical and optional hotfixes are installed without going to Windows Update site ?

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking. If you want to know what hotfixes you have installed, open up your
"Last Session" logs in your nLite directory that you created when you built your install, there you can see all the hotfixes, addons etc... that you put in:

if you did not remove .CAT files, you may view their presence too in I386/SVCPACK directory of your source disk ... ;)
