[Guest]

Hello

once or do i have to d/l two or three at a time? I read the posts on this
site a lot and know that automactic updates is best but i dont want IE7 to
slip in.

That doesn't really matter. What matters is that you update your system
periodically in the future.

That depends. The automatic update does not replace visiting the Microsoft
update site in order to see optional updates as well. And if you have to
update several systems, it's best to download the updates directly from
the corresponding websites as executable files.

but i dont want IE7 to slip in.

Why not. Anyway, install the
"Toolkit to Disable Automatic Delivery of Internet Explorer 7"

IMHO, IE7 seems to be a lot better than IE6 ever was. The real danger is
Windows Media Player 11 slipping through the net, and you definitely don't
what that.
