If you follow the instructions to notify me, but don't download or
install updates does XP Home still tell you that in the sys tray that
some are available to be downloaded?
Thanks,

News: How To Stop The Automatic Update
of
IE7, Patch Tuesday and Happy Shiny Anti Virus Companies By Ranger1138
* As you might already know IE7 is soon to be on it's way to you via
the
Windows Update feature. Currently very few Assistive Technology
products
support the new version of the popular browser. And in some cases you
will
have to obtain an paid upgrade for better support or compatibility to
IE7.
The danger of course is that you or your company may have Automatic
Updates
set on your computer or network. Which could be bad when you come into
work
and boot up to a whole new browser. Ars Technica has an article on a
tool
kit released way back in July that will prevent you from doing this
little
surprise. The Microsoft kit doesn't stop or prevent you from
downloading IE7
manually though. so you can still use the browser once you are up to
snuff
with your AT product of choice. Find the article at the link below.

Of course you can also go into Control Panel, Automatic Updates and
set them
to "Notify me but do not download updates". It's a bit easier but you
will
have to be on the look out for IE7 in the Critical Updates next time
Microsoft issues a patch. For that you must strike IE7 from the list
of
available downloads in Windows or Microsoft update.
