How to get rid off Automatic Update remainder systray icon?
Hello,
I have turned off automatic updates after I had very bad experience with them (my Windows froze and I had to reinstall it again -- it happens twice already). But still there is the automatic update systray icon, telling me that automatic updates are turned off. How can I get rid-off that icon? Jack |

Click start, in a blank gray area of the start menu right click to open properties with a left click on properties select the first tab... 'Taskbar' then click Customize, scroll down to a item and click on it then using the little drop down arrow select the relevant window..... Always hide. To finish click ok and then apply and you are done. To turn of Auto update properly. Click start in the run bar type *gpedit.msc* click ok Open Local Computer Policy, then Computer Configuration, then Administrative Templates, then Window Components and finally to Windows Update By default all the settings here are ‘Not Configured’ and you have only three options. Click to open Update Detection Frequency click enable and insert the maximum number of hour’s possible clicking Apply & OK to finish, this will reduce the frequency of the reminders.... ...or set to disable and same with Window Update, this will stop Updates altogether, don't forget to click apply and OK to finish. I alway's advise keeping a log in a notebook when you make alerations. Davy |

That's a rhetorical question, actually. There is absolutely no reason to go through such a convoluted mess as what you've written above when a simple, easy, and safe method will do the job. Also please note that you assumed the OP had XP Pro. XP Home does not have Group Policy. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User |
