Windows Automatic Updates

How do I get rid of the Update icon that continues to notify me about an
update I have said I do not want? I keep checking the box "Don't notify me
of this update again", but the icon keeps coming back to tell me about the
update. I have my Automatic Updates set to "notify me about updates, but
don't install"

Navigate to WINDOWS\Sofware Distribution
Delete the contents of the DataStore, Download, and EventCache folders.

*** NOTE: This will erase the update history ***

Close the window.
Go back to Start, Run, and type in

net start wuauserv
