How do I disable downloading Windows Updates on a user or a connection
basis?

Context:
On our laptops we have a specific local user account for connecting to
the Internet by UMTS / HSDPA.
However we don't want Windows to use this connection for downloading
updates.
How to prevent?

Editing the Registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Policies\Explorer\NoWindowsUpdate = 1
doesn't work.

Windows Update is a system (computer) service and as far as I know cannot be
disabled on a per user basis.

An alternative would be to turn off the Windows Update service so no user
would be running it during their login session. Then when you want to check
for updates, login as an Administrator and manually turn on the service and
check/install updates. When finished turn off the service. Not a very
elegant solution, but doable.

And I have spoofed, and abused here for a long, long time.
But, I have been out-spoofed, and out-abused!

Subject: 4.5 Personal attacks on individuals and groups.

Selected individuals are subjected to quite vicious
personal attacks throughout usenet. Examples a "X#$
X#$!" "is a X$#" "is a X$#!" "is a
X$x" "in X$#" "is
a X$X" "is a X#$" "is a V$X just
like X$#" "X#$"
"Sexually harassed by" "X#$" "X#$
PARTY" "X$#" "hated
wherever he goes!" "X#$

As will be seen several of these are libelous, and
thus illegal

Groups such as the regular posters are attacked similarly,

Subject: 4.6 Forgeries

They regularly forge the identities of posters who they do
not like. This can vary from badly spelled versions of
their name and/or email address, to forgeries which the
average reader would not be able to detect.

At times this can reach a bizarre condition where they
troll using a forged identity at a Breidbart Index of well
over 20. They then at every opportunity call the victim a
troll.

Larting the offender is often effective because ISPs recognise
the seriousness of this offence.

Where Forgery is done via an anonymous remailer complaints
to abuse@thelastremailerinthechain may well be effective.
The remailers administrators do not like their facilities
being misused, and have ways of combatting this. It is
also worth registering with
