    Quick question about Automatic Updates


    Just upgraded from XP and I have a question about Automatic Updates. In XP if I skip an update it gave me the option to not prompt me for that update again. I don't see that option in Win7. Is there a way to keep it from pestering me about updates I don't want?

    You can right click on the update you don't want and Hide it. That's about all you can do.
