Windows updates

I choose to be notified for Windows updates but to manually download and install them. About twice per month I get a notification that a Windows update is available and do I want to download it. I choose to download and install them later. However the icon remains near the clock. I find this an annoyance.

How would I made the icon disappear when I choose to update myself?

I have WinXP Pro with SP2.

Thank you,

Barry Karas
