found this after a lot of Googling, so I'd like to share the solution. This may not be new or even advanced but it surely helped me... Anyone who is running Windows XP SP2 knows about this. The most annoying, ill-designed dialog box ever invented in the history of the computers that asks "Updating your computer is almost complete. You must restart your computer for the updates to take effect. Do you want to restart your computer now?" And there are only two options: Restart Now/Restart Later. "Restart Later" means that this thing will ask you again in 10 minutes. If you're willing to work for the next 4 hours until lunch before rebooting, this means you'll need to answer this question 24 times. It also steals the focus. to get rid of it: Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations You can configure how often it will nag you (I re-configured it for 720 minutes, which means I'll be asked twice on a work day), or completely disable it. a reboot is needed

so many viewer but no reply. waiting for u r reply guys..

I think the last bit at the end is the funniest thing I have read in a long time...

Why does absolutely everything in windows require a reboot? Isn't there a service that deals with this requester that you can just restart without disrupting the whole OS?
