I installed office word, excel, presentation, access and infopoint (?) but
not outlook. its too busy and complicated.

but now all I ever see in the taskbar is the prompt to install outlooks
updates and junk filters. I say no and don't remind me again, in the manual
MS update page I do the same and hide them, but the system tray keeps
popping up saying there is an update for junk filters.
 
Go ahead and install the updates and be done with it...

You need to uninstall OL completely by going to Control Panel,
Add/Remove.

Logout and reboot and see if you still get this message.

It looks like OL has been installed by mistake.

What a /stupid/ response. READ the OP. The OP hasn't even /installed/
Outlook. Why should he clutter up his machine with updates for a program he
hasn't got?

A TV is an object rather than a logical/mathematical concept.
If TV were, indeed, a logical/mathematical concept, even people without
televisions would TV sets -- they would have the Null TV set.

Since a TV is an object, it is called a "set" because it does not stand.

The answer was appropriate. Did you ask the OP to define NOT INSTALLED? Probably is installed but not set up or removed the OL icon . Update when it scans detects OL and that is why the OP is getting the prompts. He would not otherwise.

Office update (Microsoft update) doesn't seem to check which individual
applications are installed. It checks which version of Office, Standard,
Pro, SBE, etc. and wants to install updates for all programs that came with
that version. I'm guessing but the rational could be that when/if you do
install the missing apps you don't have a mix of patched and unpatched apps.
You could hide that update so it doesn't nag you in the future but you would
have to do it each time an unwanted update shows up.

Assumption is a very dangerous thing to do these days. The bombers in
London were all assumed to be innocent even by our highly experienced
police force (because the law asks them be so) but they still manged to
kill about 55 people.

Shows just how much YOU know about counter-terrorist operations then,
doesn't it? Bugger all.

Tell me more. I only specialise in anti-piracy measures to catvh
thieves like you.
 
Please include all of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup.

I asked because even if you've hidden other OL updates, including updates
for Junk Mail/spam, you'll still be offered any new ones.

And /I/ have taken part in various anti-terrorist operations in the past so
my knees are knocking with threats from tw*ts like you.

PLONK!
