Hi,

Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe)

Goto this key below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
In the right-pane, look for the DWord value "NoUpdateCheck"
Set the data to 1. (0x00000001)

Please see Attachment - a .reg file which does the above task.

Go to: Start > Settings > Control Panel > click on "Automatic Updates"
Check, "disable automatic updating".
Check here: (Windows Update) http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
And here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp
For late-breaking Microsoft updates.

Yes Frank. The NoUpdateCheck steps should help. It would be nice if the web
interface (Microsoft one) had the download option. It would be very useful.
