How do I turn off the Automatic updates, so that if I want the updates I have to go to the Microsoft website and get them myself.

I do not have Windows XP SP2 on.

Could you please give exact instructions on how to do this

Start>ControlPanel>System

Click the tab labeled Automatic Updates.

I recommend you check the option to be notified at least. Also note that to GO TO Windows Update site, you must have at least SP1 level.
