Get rid of those annoying Windows Pop-ups


Picture:Clock Published on March 28th, 2007 in Windows, Windows Administration

A lot of companies don’t want their employees (if they have administrator permissions on their windows machines) to update Windows by themselves. To get rid of numerous, annoying Windows pop-ups, reminding you to enable automatic updates, copy & paste the following code into your editor (notepad for e.g.), save it with the file extension “.reg” and execute it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
“AntiVirusDisableNotify”=dword:00000001
“FirewallDisableNotify”=dword:00000001
“UpdatesDisableNotify”=dword:00000001
“AntiVirusOverride”=dword:00000000
“FirewallOverride”=dword:00000000

    simply safe the italic text to a text file, rename to “.reg” and double-click it. that’s it. the registry will be updated.

Shout it out!
