Having read much by Googling on this topic but I still cannot turn off
the automatic updates on my WinXP(home edition) -- I already did:
1. Control Panel -> Security Center -> Change the way security Center
alerts me -> unchecked "Auto Updates"
2. Run -> services.msc -> Security Center -> Start Type -> Manual

But the Control Panel -> System -> "Automatic Updates" are still with
"Automatic Update" checked and all options dimmed that I cannot change
anything.

Where this is in ultimate control?

Thanks for any hints!
