Please contact your system administrator." The system administrator (me) has to go into the registry and set these values back to "htmlfile" in order for these links to work. When they try, the get the error "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. As a consequence, users cannot open links in Excel or Word documents. Apparenty, setting IE back as the default does not reset these entries. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.shtmlĪre all set to ChromeHTML instead of htmlfile. Even if one sets the default browser back to IE and uninstalls Chrome (which we shouldn't have to do!), the registery settings are left behind. Not only is this annoying, but it messes up the workstation settings. Lately, users workstations have been automatically getting Chrome downloaded and installed as the default reader when their Acrobat or Flash is updated. We have had Acrobat set to automatically download updates. We have Acrobat Reader standard installed on all user workstations. I am the system administrator for a public retirement system in Ohio. I am not asking a question, just registering a complaint similar to cshutts. If you can provide documentation, detailed steps, registry keys, etc. We currently have users with reader, 8, 9 and 10. How can we turn off any auto update functionality, and prompting of updates so users never see them in both apps? We don't want reader or flash to update 'automatically' We still want the ability to update it manually. Here is our actual goal: We just don't want users prompted to update reader or flash player because of the chrome install. Tried to create the iCheck and iCheckReader in both places but not sure if they are actually working. To disable the update notifications, however checking both xp and win7 machines, the key mentioned on page 16 of the pdf mentioned above, did not exist in HKLM, but did find it in HKCU. This cause multiple helpdesk calls as their web-enabled apps do not work correctly in chrome. When are 1500 users get prompted to up date reader or flash player they do not understand to turn off the 'optional' check mark to download and install chrome. Please direct me if I'm not.ĭue to some issues with alot of our applications that are web-enabled and rely in IE. Hopefully I'm asking this question in the right place.
