Question : Disabling MS Windows XP Automatic Updates / patching : it's greyed out

It's quite annoying that my notebook was being automatically updated with
patches and I'm being prompted to restart daily.

When I go to this option (see attached), the option to turn it off was greyed
out.  Any idea & how can I prevent this.

I don't like the idea of being patched unless I've taken an image backup
beforehand (there's been known cases MS security patches / updates
caused problem)
