No need to restart as all changes will take effect during your next boot-up.

Done.

I was wondering about this step and then remembered that I declined the update while installing Grokster...

"How" you might ask "was I able to just say no..." without a restart?

One program I find I can't do without (It's one of the first I install if I re-load Windows) is Mike Lin's StartupMonitor. Here is a quote from Mike Lin's Home Page.
Quote:
StartupMonitor is a small utility that runs transparently (it doesn't even use a tray icon) and notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup. It prevents those utterly useless tray applications from registering themselves behind your back, and it acts as a security tool against trojans like BackOrifice or Netbus.
You might want to check this Little Jewel out. I rate it a "Must Have"
