Thats not the problem windows is bypassing this, this fix is a registry mod check out my bold letters in my first post:)

Have you tried running gpedit.msc and setting the options through that? I can dig out the specifics if you need?

Sorry had a few beers and can't remember where they were - I was looking at it this morning though!!!!!

where can i download this?

Try this right click on "my computer" and select manage. On the bottom in the left pane double click "services and applications", the double click on services. Then on the right side look for "automatic updates". Right click on it and select properties, then click on the stop button and then select disabled in the "startup type" drop down window. Click ok and your done.

Hope that helps.

I think that is exactly what needs to be done, And the safest way to do it.

Much thanx, Goli
