Sometimes, after the Windows Update a annoying message popup appears every a few minutes.
Especially it appears when you do something important, it takes focus and your window goes behind.
If you want to disable this reminder follow the following steps:
- Click Start -> Run
- Enter “gpedit.msc”
- Go to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
- Double-click on “No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Update installation”
- Set to “Enabled”
- Reboot the computer

This solution doesn't run under Windows Xp Home Edition because in this version of Windows, doesn't exist the Group Policies utility.
There is a regedit hack.
- Click Start -> Run
- Enter “regedit.exe”
- Search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
- Create a DWORD called NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers
- Set to 1
- Reboot the computer
Otherwise download
this and hack the registry.
