For a long time, there has been a way to disable the check... But it does depend on some decent method of distributing the configuration file to all the clients (SCCM, Altiris, VBS/Group Policy, or some other distribution system). http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html The problem with this, in my experience, is that this does indeed work for a while. What eventually happens though is a new version of Flash is released, the header in a flash movie made with the new version updates the URL to check for a new player and re-enables the update service. All the hard work you go through to maintain a stable version goes out the window and you're back where you started, and your users are wondering why they get broken flash players when it tries to install without admin privs. In order to prevent the update URL from working, you pretty much have to use a proxy server, and prevent your workstations from detecting that a new version has been made. I say, go with Mr. Graff's method if you possibly can. ..and pray that Adobe Flash will die a quick death someday by some technological ninja.
