Ok, so we've all left our computers Folding overnight, just to come back in the morning to see it's restarted because of some Windows Update. Time to sort that out I think.

Log In to Windows Automatically:

1) Start> Run> control userpasswords2:



2) Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." box:



3) Press Apply and you will be presented with the "Automatically Log On" screen. Enter your password:



Disable Automatic Windows Update:

1) Open Windows Update.

2) Click "Change Settings" on the left:



3) Open the drop-down menu under "Important Updates". The options are:
• Download and install without asking
• Download but ask to install
• Ask to download and install
• Don't update

You can use any of the bottom 3, but I use the 3rd option myself:




Enjoy.

Hehe, that's what you think. zodac isn't even my main account on this computer.

Actually, I learnt something because of that. See, "2nd Account" is actually my main account. I renamed that while making the guide, and I found that IE, Windows Update, Windows Photo Viewer (as well as my custom Logitech mouse buttons for some reason) stopped working all of a sudden. So for future reference, don't change the name of your user while you're on it.
