Tiny application ShutdownGuard puts Windows automatic restarts back into your control.
I run an automated backup program on my Home computer (Vista) every night at 1am. Well, almost every night. Well, about every other night. The problem is that I have Windows set to download and install all those security updates, and it often decides to restart my computer as a result. When this happens my scheduled programs don’t run, and the only way to fix this is to turn off automatic updating.
I know many of you have had similar experiences. May I therefore suggest ShutdownGuard, a small and low-profile application that prevents Windows from its default “we know better than you” behavior.
