Jerad: great tip, especifially for sys admins!
Mike: Of course it did. You read it on the Internet so it must be true, right? ;)

Well, did it work or did it BSOD?

Man, you be weird!

You can change that time.

Start > Run
type “gpedit.msc”
Browse to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. Find the Setting labeled “Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations.” Enable it, and set your delay period in minutes. At one of my customers, we changed the value to 600 minutes (10 hours) so they can “Install updates and shut down” when they go home.

Osman, two thoughts: one, yes I really am this hopeless. Two, I’ve tried Ubuntu on my touchscreen UMPC and really liked the Dapper Drake build. http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2006/08/ubuntu_on_a_ump.html ;)

Are you really this much hopeless? This is like trying to get yourself into a headache just because that you have found painkillers while you walk. :) Try Ubuntu please.
