How to keep from getting those annoying restart messages from windows update.
Type gpedit.msc at the run prompt you see at the bottom of your list when you click the start button. This will bring up a new tool.
Navigate to “Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->Windows Components -> Windows Update”
To change the interval between reminder windows change:
“Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations”
To keep the computer from rebooting while you’re away, change:
“No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates”
