nLited Windows XP pro x64 sp2 with IE7 integrated.

Clicking on the Windows Update icon silently fails, to get it to work I have to change the properties of the icon from [%SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe] to ["%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" update.microsoft.com]

Also I'm not sure if this is a bug or a design choice, but in the Unattended setup section, if no user account is highlighted on the users tab then on the Owner & Net ID tab the organization box is greyed out.

Good catch on the Owner disabling, it's a leftover from when that textbox was on the same page.

About WU...gonna check if I can automate it.

Thx.

Glad to hear you're on the case, but just to prove no good deed goes unpunished, I'd like to suggest an additional tweak.

Security: Disable auto-insert notification on all CD-ROM drives

Text description: This will prevent the system recognising that a new CD has been inserted. While you will have to navigate to the CD manually, it will stop autorun malware being installed (Sony's rootkit anyone?).

Registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"AutoRun"=dword:00000000


normally "AutoRun"=dword:00000001

Thanks but that disables drive refresh, it's enough to Disable Autorun, tweak is already inside.
