Disabling Automatic Updates - help

Hi!
I am trying to disable Automatic Updates on Windows 2000 computers/server
usring .reg file. This is what I have so far:
I am deleting a key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=-
Adding a Key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=DWORD:00000001
Also, it does delete a key but doesn't add it. Also, is this sufficient
enough?
Thank you,

Ton,

Why not just disable automatic updates using the AU applet in the
Control Panel ?
