Highly annoying when you can't restart yet because you're still working with stuff. And that process can't be killed; it will simply return...

theres a registry hack so you can choose a time for it to remind you.

---

That would be nice...

Now, to get rid of it:
Start / Run / gpedit.msc (...)

That's for Windows XP Pro, not Home....

that's what I do now. I don't consider it solved though as this has some other drawbacks.

I usually don't install or use any annoying software...

Hmm, yeah, that's pretty annoying, but RealPlayer sucks even more.

It always adds itself back.

All adobe products... not because they aren't good at all, but they just don't like to run quickly on my computer, and they like to freeze up other programs upon closing it. I suppose I'm inpatient.

The 5 minute timer before restart is a pain too

Adobe stuff on my computer are fine for me.

Run regedit

In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

Edit > New > DWORD:
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled" with a value of "1"

Edit > New > DWORD:
"RebootRelaunchTimeout" with a value of the time in minutes until the next prompt. "1440" (24 hours) looks like the max. If you input "0" for this DWORD or the former, it will default to 10.

Mine would have to be windows updater when I say to reboot later it comes up every 2min asking "Do you want to reboot now?".  How many times do I have to say NO!?!?!

EDIT: I thought those restry edits were for adobe, but they're for windows update thanks

I don't have this problem as I do not recieve full software and update support from microsoft as I could be a victim of software counterfiting

* dylan! runs

QuickTime. Some websites just love to piss me off when they force us to use QuickTime. And what I hate more is the installer for QuickTime. Gives me iTunes when I dont have an iPod, nor can I select to install iTunes or not.
