Disable Automatic Update dialog in Adobe Flash Player
Flash Player automatically checks with adobe.com to see if an updated version is available and if there is it presents a dialog prompting the user to upgrade. To disable this update check and prompting you can do the following:
* if it doesn't already exist, create a directory %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\(%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash for 64-bit system)
* if it doesn't already exist, create a file there called "mms.cfg" (this file can also be used to deploy other settings)
* add an entry in this file: AutoUpdateDisable=1
<source lang="xml">

<exit code="0" />
