[Web4lib] Windows Update Service Crashing Some PCs

[garyo]

        Along with being on the web team at the library I have been 
managing PCs and printers both Public and staff. In our library on the 
staff PC we have kept Windows Automatic Updates and for years it was 
great, one less thing I had to do manually.
       We have Used a VB script to do windows updates on all our public 
PCs because the Hard drive protection needed to be turned off. I never 
got around to automating it so I did it the one day a week we close at 9 pm.
       Just a couple months after the hideous Windows Vista came out 
Windows Automatic Updates went crazy on XP. So I adapted our Public Win 
Update script to the requirements of our staff and added it to a 
shutdown maintenance script. Here are the Gory details.
