Any version of Windows can have the update service disabled. 1) From a DOS window, enter "services.msc". 2) Find the line that has "Windows Update" on it. Right-click and select "Properties". 3) Change the "Startup Type" to "Disabled". This will prevent it from starting next boot. 4) Click "Stop" to stop it running immediately. 5) Click "Ok'.
When you decide to let it update, do the reverse--select Automatic (Delayed Start) for the Startup Type, and click "Start". It will take some time for it to catch up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
