Thanks Dan!
 
I noticed that it says it will notify you when it has downloaded and then notify when it's going to install.
 
Two questions:
1. Can you STOP it from installing the update when it says it's time?
2. How do you know which updates make sense and which don't?

Right click on "My Computer". Go to "Properties". Go to the "Automatic updates" tab. Change it to "notify me" if you just want to be notified.

Can you point me in the right direction - where in the maze of options in XP is the option to enable / disable automatic updates?

Nothing but positive experience.  Go for it.
 
However, to avoid Win XP from crashing mysteriously, disable automatic updates.  You would be interested in the following advice found in a recent issue of Channel Business.
 
"The culprits seem to be the plethora of security updates that have been issued to Windows XP, almost on a daily basis.  Some of those update are known to cause driver problems and cause devices to become unstable, potentially crashing the machine.  The best advice is to turn off automatic updates and do everything manually, only upgrading those patches you need (instead of every one, whether it affects you or not)."

I am considering upgrading the Windows XP and this upgrade is questionable as it relates to Rbase.  What kind of experience has anyone had with Rbase and Windows XP?  Good or bad.  Thank you.
