windows update - removing non desired upated

In the window update list, there are update that are optionals i.e utlimate extras, or language that i do not desire to install. Is there a way to hide / remove them from the list - or mark as non installable - and reduce the list ?

There is one KBB937286 that i did installed and it created havoc on the computer up to the level i had to restore to previous stated and now it still apprears on the list of windows vista and i would like to remove them. It that feasable ?

Yup - right click on the update, and you'll get a context menu with 3 items - one of which is Hide. You'll need to give it permission *once* for that session - after that you can hide the rest without the UAC prompt, until you close WU and then open it again later..
