I have only one solution. Get a MAC. I have one, and all the smart people have them too.

[...] Reconfigure Windows Update Restart Notifier – Ugh YES! A way to configure the annoying restart option in windows update so you don’t get prompted to restart every 10 minutes. WOW players will love this. (From edge of i-hacked) [...]

And what’s wrong with the occaisonal security patch and vulnurability fixes? WinOS is already vulnurable as is. So installing automatic updates, which 90% of the time are security updates, is a good thing.

(( Except for that Genuine Advantage thing, which I’ve heard after checking if your copy of Windows is licensed it just sort of hangs out on your PC doing who knows what. ))

just disable automatic updates permanently.

I am almost certain that “gpedit.msc ” only exists in XP pro, My home edition doesn’t have it.

FINALLY.

More than a few times have I been typing only for the dialogue to pop up and steal focus one second before I hit the spacebar. Ugh.
