Thanks for the tips. I have followed your instruction and stop Reboot on Auto Updates. Let’s hope it works.

I think Microsoft should do something to prevent Reboots in the future versions of Windows like Windows 7. I have seen all over that people are tired of this.

Thanks for the info. When I reach this destination in Group Policy, I do not have the option of *NO auto restart…* I have only 4 options. Yet my friggen XP pro SP3 still restarts automatically. Is there another area that can disable it?

Thanx mucho!

Yep, I’m using Google docs more and more…

Now might be the time to look at Google Docs. I found Google docs a few months ago, and have really found them to be an awesome resource. It’s just like having free access to Word and Excel. The only problem is that the Excel files don’t print out that well. And the best part is that it autosaves everything, you can see recent changes, share them with friends, etc.

Good Luck

Now you know why Danny Sullivan finally left the dark side. When are you going to step into the light?
