I searched before asking this.

Is there a reg hack or something to prevent the Automatic Update nag balloon pop up? I know automatic updates are off because I turned them off!

I perfer to update them manually.

<Begin Rant> I trust Micro$oft about as much as I trust hackers. If there was an OS that would run all my win32 apps/programs, I would be so there. <End Rant>

There are 2 ways of doing this;

Start regedit.exe.
Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Create a new DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips.
Give it a decimal value of 0 (zero)
Click OK.
Close regedit.

An easier way is:
Open Group Policy, then load the group policy you want to apply the change to.
Note: On a computer that is not a part of a domain you can set this feature locally by running GPEDIT.MSC from the Run command (only on XP Pro).
Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu & Taskbar
Double-click Remove Balloon Tips on Start Menu Items and select Enabled.

Ok all the way out.
To revert to the original configuration status you'll need to Disable the same option, click Apply, and then set it to Not Configured.
