Stop Win7 Auto-update from auto restarting your computer

I've never been bit by this as I always save my work before walking away from the computer, but this may be of help to some of you.

Thanks a lot for this! My Windows Updates have fallen probably a month behind because I don't have it on automatic for this very reason. If this "fix" indeed works, it might finally be time to change that!

Glad to help. I expect the reg patch to work. Let me know your experiences with the patch.
