Automatically Update Windows (XP Home/Pro only)

To guarantee that your computer is always updated with the most recent Windows security patches, updates, and service packs, turn on automatic updates.Windows XP gives you three options: automatic download/install, download only, and notify only. Here’s how to do it:
1. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop. If this icon is not available, then click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows and right-click My Computer. If you can’t find the My Computer icon anywhere, do the following:
a. Right-click in the empty space on your desktop.
b. Select Properties.
c. A window opens. Click the Desktop tab.
d. Near the bottom of the window, click the Customize Desktop button.
e. Another window opens. On the General tab, beneath the words Desktop Icons, select the My Computer checkbox.
f. Click OK.
g. You are returned to the previous screen. Click the Apply button.
h. Click OK.
i. The My Computer icon appears on your desktop. Right-click it.
2. Select Properties.
3. A window opens. Click the Automatic Updates tab.
4. On the Automatic Updates page, you have a choice
• For maximum protection, click the Automatic (recommended) button, which takes care of the updating silently behind the scenes. Use the two drop-down menus to select a day and time for Windows XP to search for updates and install them when necessary.
• If you would rather have more control over the updates that are installed on your computer, click the button Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them. Another option is to click the button Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them.
5. Click Apply.
6. Click OK.
