what you are asking. If the admin has not = configured automatic updates,

I think it would be better if all users (not just admins) got a tray =
notification by default. Clicking on the shield as a non-admin should =
bring up a dialog with an "enter admin password" prompt, and
possibly a = "do not tell me about updates any more" checkbox.
Users could elect to = reenable notification in a new field in the current
Automatic Updates = dialog.

    That's only if you are logged on as an administrator. If you are not
    logged in as an administrator, there is no yellow shield in the =
tray.
    There should be. The only notification you get that there are =
updates
    waiting is if you happen to select shut down. Not even the log out =
dialog
    indicates there is something waiting. If you don't routinely =
shutdown
    your computer, it is possible to go days without realizing there is
    something waiting.
