How to stop being nagged by autoupdate in Windows

I installed IE7 this morning. Even though I don’t really intend to use it, I like to keep my computer up-to-date with the latest software. The problem with the Windows update mechanism is that once it’s done the business and installed whatever security fix, software or patch that you required, Mr Naggy-Pants doesn’t stop nagging you to reboot. Why can’t you just silence it and reboot when you really do feel like it? Well, now you can.
