click here to turn off without installing updates

Can someone provide the registy key that i can change to disable this from showing within Windows XP Home, i know this can be done with GPEDIT.MSC in Windows XP Professional.

 

Am I right in also saying having this disabled it will default in updates not being installed while the computer shutting down.

 

Many thanks and merry christmas to all users here

I think NoAUShutdownOption is what you need.

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"[color="#FF0000"]NoAUShutdownOption[/color]"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000000

 

If you enable this policy setting, ´Install Updates and Shut Down´ will not appear as a choice in the Shut Down Windows dialog box, even if updates are available for installation when the user selects the Shut Down option in the Start menu.
