I found this helpful and simple tip in Rick Broida's column in PC World Magazine. If you've ever had Windows automatically download updates and reboot, thus causing you to lose unsaved work (I have), then you'll recognize the benefit of this information. Here's what you do -
1. In Vista, click Start and type Windows Update and then hit Enter. In XP, you have to go to Control Panel and go to Automatic Update from the options menu.
2. In Vista, click Change Settings. Skip to the next step for XP.
3. In Vista, there is a drop down option that you click that says "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them." In XP, it is similar, but refers to letting you choose when to install updates.
4. Click OK and you're done.
