Disable automatic install of IE 7

"Get it here"
Many administrators are going to be taken by surprise when they find out that IE 7 is going to be installed automatically via Windows Update. There are considerable changes that could cause many headaches. Most administrators would prefer to decide when IE 7 is deployed on their network. This is why microsoft has released the IE 7 blocking tool. It can be downloaded from here at Microsoft's website.

Once you download and extract the package you will see that it is a command line tool. You simply call the script with the computer name and /b

Alternatively you can simply create a registry key that will block the install. It is located under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\7.0

The key name is: DoNotAllowIE70
Setting this to 1 blocks the install, setting to 0 allows the install.

I for one hate messing around in the registry, and sometimes I don't want to use the command line - I want a nice GUI interface to make these types of changes. That is why we have created two more free tools to make the changes for you.
