how to not install ie7 - plshelpm

hi,

i see a that the windows update icon is always in the system bar at the
lower right hand corner, prompting me to update from ie6 to ie7.

is ie 7 really necessary/critical? how can i let the auto windows update
bypass ie7 update?

There is a registry key that you can place to diable this. - Anty

There is a registry key that you can place to diable this.  The key is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Setup\7.0\DoNotAllowIE70

set the value to 1, and it wont show up in the list.

There is also a simple GUI I just found on the following website that will
allow you to do this.

Hope this helps.

So when you go to the Windows update web site and have it scan to
check for possible updates, there is not an option to no longer show
IE7 as a selection?

You don't need hack the Registry or install the blocker: Go to Windows
Update and scan for updates > "Hide" IE7.
