It might be worthwhile to have the option of deciding which Microsoft updates get installed and which don't.

2. Thanks! I suspected that it might be in the Control Panel somewhere.
In case anyone is interested in the details, it's:

Security Center
Manage Security Settings for Automatic Updates
Notify me but don't automatically download or install them

If you look under "Performance and Maintenance" at "Scheduled Tasks", you won't find it.

Other places that I imagine someone might look are:
"Network and Internet Connections" or "Add or Remove Programs." However, when you're in the Control Panel, you have to look under "Security Center", as I indicated above.
