Disable Windows Restart Prompts

If you are tired of Windows XP's non-stop reminder to restart your computer after a Windows update, the following will help you disable the popup!

Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations.

You can disable the reminder entirely, or adjust the frequency of the popup.
