c:\windows\system32\reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\6.0\Updater" /v iUpdateFrequency /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f

 

Somewhere I read that Acrobat uses a combination of HKLM and HKCU
keys... I think it might have been AppDeploy.com

 

Hope these help.

Emne: [THIN] Adobe Reader Auto Update

I would like to turn off the Auto Update feature in Adobe so that it
doesn't check the internet each time the user launches Adobe Reader on
our Citrix servers and notify the user on a new version update.

 

I know you can do this via Adobe, Edit, Preferences but I was wondering
if anyone knew a registry entry I could use on each server to stop this
from being displayed.

 

Thanks in advance.
