The WUAU Help suggests it could be simpler than this, especially for this update, e.g., assuming there is an EULA associated with installing IE7, as I think there is. But I thought that there was also a way, e.g. using the Custom button and checkboxes of just "declining" any update which is downloaded. At one point that actually deleted the download too (so you didn't have to keep using the Custom button and making sure that unchecked downloads stayed unchecked. (In fact, I found that particular "feechur" more annoying than helpful when I wanted to try installing one update at a time, for example. <w>) I haven't experimented with it lately to know if that feature has been changed but it's unclear anyway whether the OP has even tried to use it. Would it really keep prompting you to install something that you had already declined? I'm dubious but can't test right now.

I could assume that is a typo (help) but the "P" is not exactly close to the "F". ;-) Even if I assume that is a typo and a plea for "help" - help you with what? The conversation you chose to respond to: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_frm/thread/8b1c2139f093473b/ .... ended on November 30th, 2007. It is not May 1, 2010. 883 days; 2 years, 5 months and 1 day have passed since the conversation you tacked onto *ended*. What were you expecteding from that conversation addition? If you have an issue - a problem - please begin your own post and explain your problem. I somehow doubt that your problem is the same as the original posters - but I am willing to find out... Did you recently, "switch [your] Win[dows] XP SP2 automatic updates to notify [you] of available updates but NOT to automatically download or install them"? Was, " IE 7 ... downloaded and ... ready to be installed" and "[You] do not want IE 7 on [your] system"? Do you want to, "get rid of that IE 7 download that is ready for installation, so that the balloon message will no longer appear"? If that is not a description of your issue - my suggestion is the same as it was earlier... Please begin a new post and describe your problem. Include pertinent details, like... - Operating System you are running. - Service Pack level of said operating system. - Architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) of said operating system. - Internet Explorer version you have installed. - Your description of what the issue is. - Any error messages/etc that you get word-for-word. - What antivirus software you are running and if any others have ever been installed on your system? - What antimalware software have you recently scanned your system with? - What else have you done in order to repair the issue? - What *changed* between the system working/not working as you expected? Did you install anything new? Use any new tools? Add any new hardware/peripherals? Visit any new web pages? Install any new updates? Uninstall anything? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

My guess would be a handwriting-recognition input device. (Although F and P are only two keys apart on a DVORAK keyboard, so I suppose that's a possibility.)
