If you customize the plug-ins Acrobat Reader loads you can narrow this down
to two keys. One for the EULA and one to disable the splash screen. You
also get the benefit of reducing the memory used by Adobe (5 megs vs 25) and
the Reader loads MUCH faster.
You won't have to worry about the updater options as the plug-in never
loads.
The EULA is per machine, the splash screen is per user.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\AdobeViewer]
"EULA"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Originals]
"bDisplayAboutDialog"=dword:00000000

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.
