Hi Rodger. If you go to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate, you can use the new and improved interface to download only the updates you want. Go to the above site and follow the instructions given. This site will update office as well if you have it installed. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: roger south To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 12:02 PM Subject: [access-uk] Windows XP Update Hi All I've just done a clean re-install and need to update Windows XP with the critical updates. In my in-box is an icon saying to update automatically. But does this give me a say in what is installed? For example I do not like Windows Defender and have always refused it when the update is ready. If I don't have a say where do I go to get the option to refuse if I want to? Many thanks Roger
