Hi there,

I hope that this is the correct newsgroups for my question...

Does anybody know how Windows detects that there are updates available and
therefore enables the "Install Updates and Shutdown" shield for the "shut
down" button?

is there a registry key used to determine this? or there is a folder on our
hard drive with files for the updates?

I would like to know everything about "Install Updates and Shutdown" and
read the article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb457141.aspx, but I still
haven't been able to determine how the shield shows up because it find out
that there is an update available.

Can we run any application type when Windows enter the Installing updates
while shutting down? If it is possible, where should I add the path to an
application so it can be run by the "Install Updates and Shutdown" process?

Many thanks
