If I enable Automatic Updates for WinXP, it will only install CRITICAL updates, right?
IOW, it won't update IE6 to IE7, or WMP10 to WMP11, for example?

- Automatic = download and install without prompt. That means you
delegate complete authority to Microsoft to alter your host whenever
they feel like it.
- Download and then prompt. That means your host gets taxed with
updates which maybe you don't want yet plus they may occur when YOU want
to use your own host, like playing a game or video editing.
- Notify only (don't download and don't install). That is the safest
choice. You decide when to tax your host with the download(s). You
decide by selecting Custom (whereas Express leaves you blind) as to
which, if any, updates you will apply plus provides you will a blurb and
further info link to understand what the update is for.

The selection is
"Notify me but don't automatically download or install them"
