Windows Vista Home Premium

I used to know but forget... Can someone tell me where Windows stores newly
installed updates?

I want to uninstall the damned browser choice notice now being presented
every time I boot.

I just wish that unelected, corrupt bunch of crooks in the EU Commission
would butt out. It was they who forced Microsoft to punish us this way.
Although it would also have been sensible for Microsoft to add a 'Do Not
Show Again' button.

TIA

So CHOICE is bad? Maybe you should live in a dictatorship.

Hi,
I'm guessing, because I don't have this update installed, but try disabling
the executable from Start> Run> (type in) msconfig> Startup> uncheck
browserchoice.exe (or similar name) Restart. If you see a "system
configuration" nag at each startup, check the "Don't show this again" box.

Hope this helps,

I don't know that it can be uninstalled. Have you tried making your choice
of Browser from the "Browser Choice" screen?

You run MS, you do.

You come over like the prat called Gordon I had reason to educate some time
ago.... I'm not going to try to teach you to read but I suggest you find
someone. Or maybe it would be better if you saw a doctor and got yourself
sorted.

Good suggestion, Don but can't see it there. It's KB976002 which only in
Europe presents a notice every time you boot offering multiple choices of
browser. Trouble is, you can't stop it nor can you uninstall it as it's
locked in. I'll use a Restore point if I can't disable it. The trouble then
is, as there were several updates, they will all go. Then a 'Check for
updates and leave it off. Just the hassle p****s me off!

The Browser Choice update cannot be uninstalled.

Thanks Donald, maybe that will work. I have two browsers running and I'm
quite happy with them but I guess taking a third won't hurt, tho' why the
hell we're made to do this is beyond me.

Thanks. Found that out the hard way.... Does anyone know why Microsoft chose
to lock this useless device into our computers. I know they had to show it,
but why forever?
