Security: Scheduled Updates

How can you modify the Windows XP Automatic Update schedule on a computer with Service Pack 2 or later applied? (Select TWO.)
1. >>Connect to the Internet, run Start | All Programs | Windows Update, and click Update.
2. Launch the Control Panel and run Security Center. Then click Automatic Updates.
3. Launch the Control Panel and run Internet Options.
4. Launch the Control Panel and run System. Choose the Windows Updates tab.
5. Launch the Control Panel and run System. Choose the Advanced tab.

Explanation : To modify the Windows XP Automatic Updates schedule, you should launch the Control Panel, run Security Center, and then click Automatic Updates. You can also launch the Control Panel, run System, and choose the Windows Updates tab. Either method lets you set the update schedule. Two additional methods, not listed, are to launch the Control Panel and run Windows Updates or launch the Control Panel, run Scheduled Tasks, and then choose Windows Updates from the Scheduled Tasks Wizard.

You should not connect to the Internet, run Start | All Programs | Windows Update, and click Update. The Update selection lets you change language settings, but not the update settings.

You should not launch the Control Panel, run System, and choose the Advanced tab. The Advanced tab does not have a link to the Windows Updates settings.

You should not launch the Control Panel and run Internet Options. Even though Windows Updates are downloaded over the Internet from the Windows Update Web site, the Internet Options do not include an option for scheduling Windows Updates.
