Stop Windows from rebooting after automatic updates

One of the annoyances of Windows is a tendency for the computer to reboot after it has installed an automatic update. If it does this while you are away from the computer - maybe you've gone for a coffee, or off to bed - you can lose work in any unsaved documents, or windows you had open have been closed. Very frustrating. Fortunately, the solution is relatively simple, although it differs depending on whether you are running XP or Vista.
Vista: Click Start, type Windows Update, and then hit Enter.
Click the Change Settings option.
Change the setting to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them."
Click OK.
XP: Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press Enter.
Click the Automatic Updates tab, and then check "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them."
