right click Automatic Updates, click Properties, in Startup type drop-down
menu select 'Disabled', click OK and you're done.

hey there, i am dial-up too and have been trying to download SP1 for Office
2007 using Windows Automatic Update. it is so large (like 30+ hours) that my
isp always shuts me down sometime during the d/l process and when i log back
on, the download status bar never resumes. the furthest i've ever made it is
45%. when i restart it it begins at 0% again.

anyway, i noticed the line, "Pause or Resume Downloading" below and got very
excited. however, my download icon doesn't have a pause or resume button.
it has the two greyed options, "Open" and "Open Folder, and Cancel. what am
i missing?

Hi there,

What you are missing is called a download manager which can resume downloads
on sites that support this.

Something like Flashget, download accelerator etc. will do.
