Windows Auto Update Registry Keys.. for the hardcore

[Auger282]

Ok so I was bored...
We run a Novell environment and no SUS server as of yet so I was looking for a fast way to disable auto windows updates.

This may be useless for you but I thought I would post it because we had been looking for it on the web and couldnt find it.. so enjoy
