Turn Off Auto Update

How do I TURN OFF auto update to prevent XP Home SP-2
from automatically downloading and installijng on my
computer. The auto update is turned on and I don't want
my software and hardware to malfunction or quit working
with SP-2. Thank you for whatever suggestions you have.

Control Panel>System Properties, Auto Updates tab. Shortcut key: Windows key
+ Pause/Break= System Properties.

Charlie,
Control Panel/double click the "Automatic Updates" Icon [if you don't have
this Icon displayed, double click the "System" Icon and click the "Automatic
Updates" Tab] The box to check/uncheck mark are obvious.
