Run custom command or script when IE7 is closed

Hello! I use IE7 on win2k3-SP2 EE.
I want to run this command:
sc stop wuauserv
or as a JavaScript:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run('sc stop wuauserv', 0, true);
whenever I close InternetExplorer 7.

How can I do it? Is it possible to only run the command when I leave the
windows update web page?




Here is my story:
I want the updates to be available offline for /passive install. And I hate
when that nasty pop-up interrups my work taking my attention every few
minutes! So I have turned off Automatic Updates from System Properties.
And I prefer that the service is stopped when not in use, to free any
resources used by it.

And so:
if the startup mode for "Automatic Updates" service is auto, but the service
is stopped, when I go to www.windowsupdate.com, the service will be started,
everything works fine.
However if the startup mode is manual, even if the service is running, the
web page will show an error. I believe that this requires a fix from
Microsoft? The expected behaviour with Automatic Updates disabled is:
service startup type=manual, start on update site enter, and stop on leave
(or a few minutes after).


As a workaround:
I added this line to my logon script:
sc stop wuauserv
this frees 3 MB! ;-)
almost perfect :-)

It would be perfect if I knew how to run the script again, whenever I close
InternetExplorer :-) or preferably only when I leave the Windows Update web
page.


Thank You for any ideas! :-)

Hi George,

The only way that I can think of is to program your own BHO (browser helper
object) to fire the script when the browser (or tab for tabbed IE7) closes.

Can I suggest turning off automatic updates and then creating a scheduled
task to run Windows Updates once a month at night when you are not using the
'puter?

Regards.

This was good to know! Althow I am too busy to learn how to and program a
BHO right now, I may create one some other time in future.

Yes, that is how it is! Except for the periode: I check for updates
manually, every day. Just to keep my home server Elite :-)

Thank You very much, Rob!
