Yeah, I've run msconfig and searched the registry dozens of times, and I still could not figure out how wuauclt was launching. Weird, I've never been stumped like that before. And when I killed the process, it would just start back up immediately. Anyway, I just deleted all the wuau*.* files from the win directory and that seems to have done it. I'd still love to learn how it was being launched tho. Thanks for the help.
