Howdie,

How do I turn off hyperthreading on a Windows XP Professional

In the BIOS of your computer.

It's a BIOS setting and some vendors choose not to give the end customer
access to said setting.
Since you told us nothing about your hardware - that's about all the advice
you can get.

Sometime a BIOS update will expose the settings - other times it is some
"keystroke" that you have to know about to see it. Most - though - make it
obvious.

Why do you *need* to disable it?
If it is for some program - find a better program. heh
