Every now and again, after a Windows Update your machine will require a reboot. I've been bugged by this before and a prompt every 15 minutes isn't going to convince me to close everything and reboot. This registry setting will change this so no prompt will appear if a user is logged on and the system will hold out until it's logged of before it restarts & kicks in changes.
The registry file looks like this;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously to turn this back off, change the 1 to a 0. Attached are files to turn this setting on & off.

The following method is supported on Windows 2K/2K3/XP Pro SP2
1. Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc 2. Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> “No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations” -> Right click and select Properties 3. Change the radio button to select “Enabled” and press Ok 4. Reboot the computer for the setting to take place
I hope this helps.
