IE7 is automatically tagged as a high priority update by Microsoft. So all you need to do is start group policy editor (start > run > gpedit.msc) and go to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
Double click on Configure Automatic Updates and set it to Enable and then set the Configure Automatic Updating to 4: Auto download and schedule install... then select a time for scheduling the install.
That should force users to update to IE7 and other critical updates.

They must put that back up as a critical update becuase I have not seen that in a while. Plus we use WSUS to deploy updates and I don't even see that one in the list.
Thanks for your help!

IE7 is and always will be a high priority update. If you are running Vista, the reason you havn't seen it is because Vista already has it.
