durex Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Looks like the location for configuring windows auto updates is in a different location in XP2. Think I found it here:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]Question is, Im comparing a PC that hasnt been configured to one that has and the keys within this Hive are extremely different. Anyone know exactly what keys need to be set/deleted/added if I wanted to set my pc to autoupdate at say 3am everyday?Thanks.
