I've never understood why some people feel an urgency to try and impress
others with some cheap, acronymic qualification after their name ... their
insecurity, one supposes.

Agreed, with the sole exception of not Tuesday afternoon, as several of us
meet at the swimming pool and then dinner afterwards. <g>

It could be because people and nutters like you get impressed with almost
anything on these newsgroups.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you all for your replies. Yes, I have only selected 'Notify me but
don't automatically download or install them' option. There are two more
things that bothers me:

(1) An icon is appearing in notification area. I have allowed the download.
Afterwards the icon appears a short while and it immediately disappears in a
haste. Where to find the icon back again?

(2)Suppose I have to reinstall the Operating System again. Does it mean I
have to download all downloads again and reinstall them back?

Hope to get your further replies and Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
R. GANESAN.

Next time the problem shows, put a checkmark in the box (rather than
uncheck), page down a way
and check do not show this update again.
