disabling automatic update shield

GrahamCracker108 · 05-07-2006, 05:24 AM

hello, i'm new to all of this, my friend just taught me how to get on a discussion board. I'm trying to disable the yellow shield in the task bar which repeatedly prompts me to "update my settings." Is there a way to delete or disable this icon/program? I have Windows XP Pro.

one thing you can which I would sugest is do the update, you can turn it off by going to the control panel then automatic updates and go from there

You mean the Automatic Updates, if so go to Control Panel => System => see the pics, turn it off there

or
