Post subject:  Unwanted Windows 7 Updates

Every time Windows 7 advises that I have updates ready to install I click the balloon and the box opens, and I get a teeny weeny little bit more peeved at the list of language packs in the optional updates list that I do not want and never will want, and I always wonder if there's a way of getting rid of them from the list.

Usually I forget all about it within a couple of minutes but this time, since the browser was open and at this site I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone know how to get rid of them? Forever?

Thanks

:D

Right-click, hide update?

Yep, I had the same problem with Vista... Only Ultimate version "suffer" this problem.

It was the same with those b****y Dream Scenes and the Poker game... :?

I don't use automated updates - I go direct to the website and do it from there, where I can 'hide' certain updates forever, so they're never downloaded and I'm never reminded of them.

You can hide them on the Windows Update "client" on the PC too.

Also, AFAIK, you can't utilise your method on Vista or 7, only on pre-Vista Microsoft OSes.
