Question about 'Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update'

I have a question about Enabling or Disabling Automatic Windows Update:

Can I disable update reminders for all the programs running on my computer? All Microsoft Programs (XP, media player, Office, etc) have update nags. Can I disable them all at once?

I believe that if you selected "manaul update" You could then select only the upates you wanted, XP or other applications.

Many apps have their own update capability, which is not affected by XP's.

Many "Guru"s recommend using the "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them" Setting in "Automatic Updates"; I, personally, am using the "Turn off Automatic Updates" Setting .

Sorry I should have been more specific. I was referring to MS applications updates.
