Stupid Automatic updates... ( windows)

[geargrrl]

(xp) I don't mind the automatic updates but based on all reports, I do not want to install the IE 7 update. I don't use IE anway if at all possible. I usually go the "custom" route so I can see what is getting installed. I declined to install the IE update, but I can't get rid of the reminder. Anyway around this?

thx.

No, you can't get rid of the reminder if you have automatic updates on. It's now flagged as a "critical" Windows update, so it'll constantly pop up.

I turn off automatic updates. Just take a peek once every few weeks and see if anything new has cropped up, and download it yourself.

I'd just install it and not worry about it, especially if you aren't using it.

:stupid: It doesn't seem to be an issue. The tabs are actually kind of nice when I *have* to use IE.

It's not compatible with Quickbooks Pro. My hubby installed the update, and had to uninstall it. QB even sent out an announcement that there were issues that weren't resolved yet. I've heard rumors of other conflicts also.

Leave automatic updates on, download IE7 blocker from MS:

You have to download something to block something coming from the same company?

I have nothing more to add.
