I just implemented a utility from the UT that John Koziol wrote around a FAQ that George Tasker wrote. It's a tool that creates a VB script that you can set a shortcut to run. The script checks a server location for a later version of your EXE and if it exists, copies it locally and then runs that. So far it's awesome, and took all of about 30 minutes to implement and test.

It's called GenLoader, by John Koziol, Download ID: 9889

If you're logged into the UT, maybe this link will work:
