How do you turn auto updates off completely

[bolpx001]

Hi
I use two computers with Gary's excellent software; one is a laptop (XP) which only runs BA. It is programmed to run almost continuously and reboots once a day. The other is a desktop (windows 2000) which is used to develop macros, systems and scripts. The issue I have is that the laptop is fine and totally ignores any updates, the desktop however wants to update once a new version is available. This is causing my autohotkey scripts to fail. I have tried to use autohotkey to kill off the update prompt to no avail. I have also tried to stop the service from starting. Nothing seems to work. I am quite happy to update manually when necessary. This is a major problem for me as the computers are programmed to run when I am at work.
best regards and thanks

I figured out a way to do it, I renamed AUClient.exe and created a dummy one that did nothing
