Hi Taika,

If you don't want to be bothered by certain updates, once you know what they 
are, you can go onto the Microsoft Update page, and run a custom scan on your 
computer.

Once the scan is finished, it will show you the results, along with why it 
thinks you need to install them.

If you uncheck the checkbox at the top of the update, you can arrow down to a 
button, or link that says hide these updates.  This will hide the updates until 
you decide you want to install them again.

One thing you should be aware of, and that is, that if you click on the link or 
button that says to hide these updates, if you don't uncheck the box before you 
update it, it will download the update to your computer anyway, so don't forget 
to uncheck the box.

There used to be a way for you to hide the updates and unselect them through 
the automatic live updates on your system tray, but Microsoft found out about 
it when everyone who had illegal copies of Windows was just unchecking the box 
for the WGA tool, and hiding it, that way they didn't have to authenticate 
their version of Windows, but they haven't eliminated the whole hide the 
updates thing, they just want you to go through the website before you can do 
it, so they can keep tabs on who is logging onto their site and hiding the 
updates.  This gives them a defence if someone decides to sue them if their 
computer gets a virus or something malicious.

Oh, we provided the updates, the customer viewed them and purposely chose not 
to install them.  So we tried your honour!!!

Anyway, ever since that happened withg the WGA tool, the only way I know of 
that you can do what you have indicated about hiding updates is on the 
Microsoft Update Webpage.
