Easily Disable The IE7 Automatic Install From Happening
If you’re not ready to have Internet Explorer 7 installed from the Automatic Updates then you may want to disable it. IntelliAdmin has put together two great tools to disable the IE7 update so that you don’t have to go digging through the registry.
The first tool will let you remotely enable/disable the update by entering in the computer’s name and the username/password of the machine. It will then remotely connect and change exactly what it needs to.
The other tool that they have is for enabling/disabling the IE7 update on your local machine. Just one click and you will be all set to block Internet Explorer 7 from being able to automatically install on your system!
I actually welcome the new Internet Explorer because it brings a lot of changes in both security and usability. I would understand that some corporate environments may not want to do the upgrade until they can walk their employees through how to use it, but home users should dive right in and get their feet wet.

To be honest though, how many average computer users tend to ‘get their feet wet’? If they would get their feet wet they’d already have switched to Firefox, wouldn’t be using crap like AOL and McAfee and would know the difference between ‘memory’ and hard disk space. As it is they don’t, and even IE7 may be too much for them.
Hey Ryan, do you happen to know or have a guess as to what the build number is going to be for IE 7.0 final?
Also if I’m using Vista RC1 is it going to get the upgrade to the final version of IE as well??
I think that most home users get their feet wet with a little push (a.k.a. Automatic Updates
). After it is installed on their computer they are pretty much forced to learn how to use it because they don’t know how to uninstall it. 
I haven’t heard anything about the build number for IE7 because I’m not sure if they did any jumps like what happened in Vista.
I would imagine that they will update everyone’s IE7 in Vista because it would be a good “bug check” to make sure the update process goes smoothly for users. It should come across as a Windows Update in Vista as well.
Very good, these programs don’t require WGA!
