Getting rid of "Restart computer now" nag screen after automatic updates

You know that thing, which keeps popping up every 10 minutes or so, asking you to restart now or later... eventually gets a timer too...

Here's how to get rid of that most idiotic dialog in Windows XP I've ever seen!


Start / Run / gpedit.msc / Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations

Update April 14th 2007: this one's been wrong so long... You have to set the above value to some arbitary number to make it take that long until it shows up again. Doesn't seem it's possible to completely get rid of it, but the maximum value 1440 or something is quite long =)

Do it now, for the sake of your mental health.
