Dear Users,
I'm running Win XP Pro on my PC.
If go to 'System Properties' dialog, I'm seeing two adjacent 'Automatic
updates'
dialog tabs ( property sheet in MFC jargon) with exactly same content.
This is weird....is this a bug...
Any idea how to eliminate the redundant one...

Thanks
Kumaran

Hi Kumaran,

Close Task Manager, start/run regedit, delete this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager

Then reopen it.

Hi Rick,
I'm wondering...out of my curiosity

How that registry key would be relevant to 'Automatic Updates' in System
properties dialog..

Thanks
Kumaran

Hi,

It holds the settings for what is displayed and how it appears. It is
recreated from system defaults if you delete it, and then reopen Task
Manager..

Under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls
Folder\System\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers] in the Registry make
sure that there is only one entry, either
Auto Update Property Sheet Extension
or
Eigenschaftenseitenerweiterung des automatischen Updates
