Tips for stopping unwanted windows updates

When Windows Update tries to install, goto the custom install option and untick the box next to IE7 and SP3, then it wont try and install it again.

Wait 6 months till they have released enough hotfixes to make it stable, then goto download.microsoft.com and download the network deloyment version and install from there, this will always unpack to the $systemroot$\windows\ folder (when you get WSUS download) but with the manual sp downloads you can set the drive and folder it can be unpacked too.

After the sp has been installed windows update will grab the hotfixes after the reboot and update.

If there are any problems boot into safe mode (F8 on startup) and uninstall from the administrator account.
