Stopping Windows 7 from rebooting after Security updates

Hi all,

This is just an inconvenience for me. My Windows security updates are set to d/l at 3 am. Windows 7 Home Premium edition installs the updates and reboots the computer, which returns to my login screen.

Can I return to the old Win XP Pro behavior in which the user decides when to reboot? My computer is also my stereo, and when the music stops in the middle of the night, I have to get out of bed to restart my computer and launch Winamp.

On the same note, what do I have to do to have Winamp automatically start when Windows launches? Or should I ask that on the Winamp forums?

Thanks,

Jeff G
