"LastWaitTimeout"="2004.03.01 11:48:32"



"AUOptions" 2=Updates allowed
"AUOptions" 1=No Updates

The "AUState" also changes from 2 (Yes) to 7 (No)
"LastWaitTimeout" (date/time) is added if updates are allowed.

There are safer and easier ways to do this than a registry hack.

Setting auto-update to manual can be accomplished by right-clicking "My
Computer", Properties, "Automatic Updates" tab, uncheck "Keep my computer up
to date". You can also disable "Automatic Updates" under Administrative
Tools, Services.
