Vista - stopping dpupdchk.exe

I found the below information to stop dpupdchk.exe from running and eating
up 3 to 5 MBs of RAM but it doesn't apply to my version of Vista Home
Premium since there is no Local Security Policy or Software Security
Policies under Administrative Tools. How do I stop this from running?

To prevent this task from running you will actually need the assistance of
Windows itself, as follows :

a) Open Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.
b) Look for Software Security Policies.
c) Right-click Additional Rules.
d) Choose New Path Rule.
e) Click BROWSE and choose C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType
Pro\dpupdchk.exe.
f) Set the Security Level to Disallowed.
g) Click OK.
h) Close "Local Security Policy".
i) Reboot your PC.
j) You're done.

really haven't got enough.

Why not just answer the question instead of making useless comments?

"news.microsoft.com" <none@xxxxxx> wrote in message
news:OZP410mKJHA.2208@xxxxxxDo you know where dpupdchk.exe is located? If you do, then go to the file
using Explore to access the exe and go to the Security tab, and for every
user account that can access the exe, you'll set the permissions on each
account to DENY READ & EXECUTE, so that no account can run the program, of
course you have to right-click the file and then use Properties with
Explore.

If you can't see the Security tab, then go to Control Panel/Folder
Options/View tab/ and disable Simple File Sharing that exposes the Security
tab.

You did not nave a question. You had an answer that you posted to the question.
Gordon's reply was appropriate because it sure sounded like you were disturbed by losing that minimal amount of RAM

news:u8fh9MnKJHA.1012@xxxxxxUser accounts is turned off since I'm the only user. There is nothing, no
box to check where "Deny Read & Execute is." How do I turn it off in this
case when I can't click/check anything there?
The security tab is there but I can't check anything since there are no
check boxes and the checks are grayed out under "allow."

Try reading it again:

news:OYRnIGqKJHA.1012@xxxxxxNo, NTFS is not turned off. Do you know what NTFS is about? If you don't
know what it's about, then use Google and look it up.

You use the Edit button to edit an account's permissions.
use the Edit button

news:OPbokdsKJHA.4708@xxxxxxGoogle gave me this: "NTFS supersedes the FAT file system as the preferred
file system for Microsoft's "Windows"-branded operating systems." I didn't
say NTFS was turned off. I said I have no "user accounts" on this PC. It's
unchecked but I got it done. I don't want all kinds of stuff on this PC
eating up RAM.
