I really got tired of having my pc reboot everytime a damn ms update came through...which was 3 times last week. Unfortunately, our group policy is set to automatically download and install the updates.
By using regmon from sysinternals, you can see which registry keys are being accessed by opening up the windows update control panel. After you figure out what keys, in this case, they were in hklm/ software/policies/microsoft/windows/windowsupdate/au, you change the settings in regedit to what you want (I set AUOptions =3). Then you remove permission from "system" to write to that registry key. Now my system will automatically download and notify me. I also applied the same technique to my screensaver. The old screensaver was a logo that floated around the screen. I changed it to 'jkdefrag'.....nothing like having you windows pc always defragged. BTW, all this was sanctioned by the network admin. He just didn't want to have to change the group policy for me. -- Look at the shoes your filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:262595 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
