Can I trick XP into thinking it installed a certain critical update (kb095474)If I have "hidden" kb095474 when performing manual updates, will XP
still try to download it if I fully enable automatic updates? Can I fool XP into thinking that it downloaded and installed kb095474 (windows genuine advantage notification) so that if automatic updates are fully enabled then it will not download it? Perhaps by installing certain modified files that I might be able to find on the net? Or changing/adding registry entries? Bonus question: Why did MS re-use the same kb number 095474 for the recent WGA notification tool as it used for the same tool 2 years ago? > If I have "hidden" kb095474 when performing manual updates, will XP No, pretty sure no.> still try to download it if I fully enable automatic updates? > No, you'd be months trying to get the infor together, and in the end > Can I fool XP into thinking that it downloaded and installed kb095474 > (windows genuine advantage notification) so that if automatic updates > are fully enabled then it will not download it?

So > what's the problem with downloding it? It doesn't worry me, as my system is as genuine as they come. I've always assumed that the detection of non-genuine systems has to change frequently to keep up with the pirates latest tricks. In the same way as my antibodies have to adapt to the latest disease that is attempting to lay me low. Yes. Either modify the .vbs from line 266:
