Windows Update Shows Its Quirky Side

,----[ Quote ]
| While installing the updates, my firewall asked about allowing outbound 
| access to a program running from the E disk, an external hard drive. This was 
| the first time I've seen Windows Update stomp on anything outside of the C 
| disk. The computer had other hard disk partitions with higher letters of the 
| alphabet, so my guess is that it chose the E disk because it had the most 
| available hard disk space.

| I was out of the office most of last week, traveling on business. My system
| has quite a few automated tasks that run, so I tend to leave it running even
| when I'm away. I returned to the office to find the system had rebooted, with
| a message that Windows Update had applied patches. There's just one problem:
| I don't use that option.

| installation or compatibility quality issues, life is very painful.
