Well, Mike tries harder to spread FUD about Windows. Makes the threads less about technical issues and more about FUD. Anyway, turning off Windows Update in the Control Panel works most of the time. Microsoft decides to ignore that setting from time to time. To *really* turn it off, you have to make Registry changes and regularly scan the Registry to make sure the value(s) is still correct. At least that's what many big organizations do for their Windows machines. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34091576500&ref=mf ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
