Thanks, Marnie. I am saving this so I will have the info handy.

You know, now that I think about it, that may not be the way to disable 
Windows updates.

I am sure someone else will pipe up if it isn't. (Or if they don't email me 
and I will look around and find it -- if it's not there I sort of know where it 
might be).

However, still hold onto that. That is the way to get other things out of 
your startup tray and to disable other automatic update warnings. I mean it 
seems 
every time I add a new program, okay not EVERY time but almost, they add 
automatic update warnings. :-)

It is also the way, if you know what you are doing, to get rid of some 
processes that run in the background that don't absolutely need to (not all in 
that 
list load in the tray and/or visible in the startup tray, but do load in 
memory at start up). There are other ways to track down background processes 
that 
don't need to be running all the time. But that is the easiest and most 
accessible one to users.

I trim startup on a periodic basis. I don't like people adding things to 
startup.

I admit I am a Windows tweaker. :-) It's just I don't always remember my 
tweaks after I have done them.
