I administer a couple of dozen Windows machines, all of which are in a domain. Most users are NOT administrators, and hence do NOT have the permissions to update FFox & TBird. However, they are still prompted when an update is available, asking if they want to install the update.
If they choose to install the update, it of course fails. But ever after they get a message: S/W update failed. One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other apps are closed and that you have permissions to modify files and then restart firefox and try again.

So I need to disable autoupdate on each of these machines. The problem is that I need to do it once PER MACHINE. I have 12 machines that are used by any of 24 different people. I know how to disable autoupdate on one machine for one account. However, in the above example, I have 12 x 24 accounts in which to change it. That leaves something like 288 times I have to disable this. I need to change the setting once for every user of that machine. How can I do that? Is there some registry hack? Maybe a command to put in the script that everyone runs?
