How to disable auto update for corporate installation

I've scoured the forums for this information and was not successful locating a viable answer.
We need to update 1500 corporate clients to the latest version of QT, but we need the auto update feature turned off when the upgrade is complete. We do this for two reasons: 1) Users do not have permissions to run the installer, so even if they wanted to run the update they would be unsuccessful, and 2) we need to test any updates before they are distributed to the general population.
For past versions we created a QTP file with the auto update turned off, then placed it into the C:\documents and settings\all users\application date\apple computer\quicktime folder. This method is no longer successful.
Changing the settings for each individual user is not an option, we need a method that will change the setting for any past, current, or future user on all of our computers.
Any guidance is appreciated.

Trying to figure out the same thing. I came across the following two links but I don't think they will disable the updates to community help itself. So from what I can gather you need to do the following:
Turn off autoupdates to AIR (See below)
Turn off updates to Community Help (No clue how to do this)
Install Local content (See below)
Disables updates to AIR

Turn off internet access/help and copy local help

Turn off internet access (not sure if you need to do this one and the one above or just the one above)

You can download the latest version of AIR and Community Help.

How to disable auto updates

How does one disable "check for automatic updates" in Java 6, version 17? On the Update tab, the box is checked, but it is grayed out and won't let me un-select it.
Thanks for any help.

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...
Regards,
Dilip

Disable auto-update for SYSTEM on windows

I wrote an AIR app that is called via a php 'exec' command for my employer. This is part of an automated system where there is no user interaction. The problem is that whenever the application is run, every now and then it will open the Adobe AIR Updater, expecting user input to allow the update or cancel.
I downloaded the AIR Settings Manager app, and it does a great job of disabling this auto-update, but ONLY for the user running the app. Is there any way to disable the auto-updates for SYSTEM?

Hi Ozzy,
Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled to 1 will disable runtime updates for ALL users. Adding the file%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled will disable updates on a PER user basis.
Hope this helps,
Chris

In the best "IT Speak", it should. But there is no way for us to know for certain.

How to disable auto-sort for AdvancedDataGrid

Hello,
I am using Flex 4, ActionScript 3.
I want to disable auto-sort. Meaning I want the sort to be executed only when the user clicks the column header, not when new rows are added to the binded collection or when values are changed.
So far, I've found only this on the Internet:
http://]http://tomek.me/disable-sort-on-datagrid-edit-update/
I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Many months ago, I found a solution that involved using event.preventDefault() placed somewhere. I thought I wouldn't have a problem finding it again, but I am.
Can someone please help? Thanks!

How to disable Acrobat Updater for Mac Acrobat 8?

The Acrobat 8 manual says one can change updating preferences by "Choose Help > Check For Updates”. But the Help menu in 8.1.6 does not offer that menu item.
AFAICS, there do not appear to be any relevant items in Acrobat Preferences.

The updating preferences are under Edit>Preferences>Auto updates (this latter may not be exact, but the location of the preferences should be correct).

How to disable auto resizing for jComboBox

Hi,
I do not know how to prevent jComboBox to be auto resized according to its content. I put a jComboBox on JPanel with IDE.
After that I use for loop to fill a jComboBox. JComboBox width depends on the content and jComboBox is autoresized. I tried to use set*Size before and after for loop but it did not work as I wish:
        jComboBoxT.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10, 20));
        jComboBoxT.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10, 20));
        jComboBoxT.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10, 20));
        jComboBoxT.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(10, 20));Could you help me please? The problem is that I have three jComboBox in one row and after autoresizing one disappears...
Best regards,
Primoz

How to disable auto-complete for a text field?

I didn't find any attribute that controls this. Thanks!

Hi,
Recently I needed to use this feature, and after some research I found the answer.
Just sharing the solution.
I am aware that the auto-complete is a browser setting. But is there a way to let APEX not save the items entered before? Write a javascript?
Because I have implemented Google suggest for a text field. Every time the suggestions pop up, the auto-complete items will also appear at the same time, which is very annoying.Put on your Page Item > Element > HTML Form Element Attributes : autocomplete="off"

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?
