Go into Control Panel\Security Center and turn it off in there. If you are using a company computer and the options are greyed out, then your server group has denied you access. But, more then likely, your server group already has automatic updates turned off.

It might be that you can't use IE 6, though, depending on cookies and such. But I'm sorry, I don't know why it doesn't work. neojp,

Glad it works for you!

I have followed positoiniseverything's reference to a T with MANY problems. The registry enteries are rediculous because they do not address the issue at all and if you read the version from Help > About, 6 will still read as 7, the options in your 6 are optons for 7, and conditonal comments are ignored for 6 even with the registry and code modifications. I have found many other people having the same issues. Virtual PC is a good alternative. I am running IE7 with the SA version of IE6.

My experience with running standalone versions on the same OS have not been good. Eventually I'll drop IE6 completely, but we'll have to wait and see how long before IE6 usage drops significantly. Considering it took several years for IE5.x to be dropped, who knows how long it could take for IE6. I’m going to leave IE6 on XP for now and run Windows Vista RC1 in Virtual PC with IE7.
