I need to know how to disable the prompt that comes up for each user when WinDVD is run. This is the prompt that asks if they want to know about special offers and if they want to download product updates automatically.
I need a solution either in the registry or an ini file type scenario. The solution needs to unselect special offers and automatic updates and not to display the dialog.
This is an enterprise environment and we do not need the users trying to run any of this, they would not have rights to install anything anyway, but it might cause them to call in a ticket and waste time.
I suspect it is a simple registry entry, but cannot find a solution on my own or on the internet.
Thanks.

Re: WinDVD 10 disable prompt
The registry key where the value is stored to suppress the prompt is HKCU\Software\Corel\DVD10\msg\optinout with a string value of DNDFlag=1
Where the values for the two check boxes in the GUI are stored is in the file %APPDATA%\Corel\Messages\%ALongRandomNumber%\Message.Policy. It is an XML file with two values. They are set to "opt-in" by default. Changing them to "opt-out" removes the checks from the boxes in the GUI. So far in my testing, pre-staging this file before the user launches the app seems to work, but the testing I have done has been very limited to this point to confirm that works. Pre-staging the reg file shouldn't be an issue either since it doesn't appear to be anything unique about it.

You can also disable the Messages Preference from the COREL GUIDE then delete the messages folder located at "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Corel"
