Getting rid of the automatic update nag in the sys tray

[Guest]

this requires a registry edit - there sould be an entry under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

for Windows Update - just delete that lin

Either install the updates or set the "Automatic Updates" service to manual.

| After installing service pack 4 from the CD coutesy of
| Microsoft, there is now an icon in the system tray which nags
| about automatic updates after every reboot. It is not in any of
| the \documents and settings\*\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
| folders, so I have an idea it's somewhere in the registry.

| How can I disable the nag?
