a Windows Update was downloaded but I don't want to Install

by ashfordst Oct 19, 2008 2:23AM PDT

I inadvertently downloaded SP3, but I don't want to install it because of all the problems I've read with its installation; so, how do I delete the downloaded file? Where is it on my hardrive? Also, ever since it's been "sitting" downloaded but not installed, I haven't gotten any new notifications of any more recent XP updates. (I have it set to ask me if I wish to download new updates)
