If the box that pops up asking if you want to "Restart Now" after Windows XP installs an update annoys you, there's a quick way to get rid of it without changing any permanent settings. Go to the Services section under Computer Managment (right-click on My Computer and pick Manage) and open the properties for Automatic Updates. Stop the service and the reminder goes away. The service will restart the next time Windows starts, so you won't miss any updates, and it will still finish installing the updates when do restart.
So yes, I haven't made a post in a while. Motivation is low. Maybe I'll find some more soon.
