How to disable Internet Explorer updates?
in [Setup and Deployment]
|
From: ICTag on 7 Mar 2010 06:18 I installed an old XP cd on my laptop from scratch and applied all sp's and patches. Everything worked well. But the "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP" (71727) update causes a blue screen when I run the wizard (either during or just after checking for malware). So I installed another browser instead and removed IE 6 by un-flagging this in Windows components (software). However I'm still promped for the IE 8 update so I can't simply use the express install of windows updates whenever an update occurs. Any suggestions how to flag this update as not-wanted.

When the list of updates appears, remove the check mark from the box next to IE8. Install the remaining updates, if any. You'll then be prompted to indicate whether you want to stop being reminded to install IE8. Once you make that selection you should stop seeing IE8 offered as an update. BTW, you can't uninstall IE6. It's an integral part of Windows XP. I believe the procedure you followed simply removes its shortcut from the Start menu. Nepatsfan
