Turn off access to all Windows Update features

"""At least Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Service Pack 1 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family"""

"""This setting allows you to remove access to Windows Update. If you enable
this setting, all Windows Update features are removed. This includes blocking
access to the Windows Update Web site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com,
from the Windows Update hyperlink on the Start menu, and also on the Tools menu
in Internet Explorer. Windows automatic updating is also disabled; you will
neither be notified about nor will you receive critical updates from Windows
Update. This setting also prevents Device Manager from automatically installing
driver updates from the Windows Update Web site. If you disable or do not
configure this setting, users will be able to access the Windows Update Web site
and enable automatic updating to receive notifications and critical updates from
Windows Update."""
