How do I get RID OF the yellow reminder icon that's near the clock (that
constantly sends me annoying reminders to update Windows and install those
programs). Like I wrote it is annoying. Also I don't like installing a
program with a perfunctory, at best, explanation for what the update does.

Thank you,

Barry Karas

Start Menu > Control Panel > Security Center > Automatic Updates > Turn
off Automatic Updates.

While in the Security Center, you can also choose "Change the way
Security Center alerts me" (it's one of the options along the left-hand
side)

Go to "Control Panel" double click "System" and
then select "Automatic Updates"
here check the option "Turn Off Automatic Updates" click
apply
....no annoying reminders any more ....
This works under Windows Xp sp2.
