I believe for IE7 you must SPECIFICALLY tell it to install it. If you have AUTOMATIC UPDATES installed, IE7 will not auto-install... even if you have the AUTOMATIC UPDATES set to download and install all updates. You will have a pop-up specifically tell you that you have new updates, IE7 being the update, and then need to specifically say OK. ====================================== = SirTroth = ICQ: 1717439 = AIM/AOL: SirTrothX = YAHOO: SirTroth = MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (don't email me here) = SKYPE: SirTroth = XFIRE: SirTroth ====================================== On Sat, 23 Dec 2006 22:06:20 -0800, hank smith wrote: > how do you tell it not to update when you run windows update?
