I have the strangest feeling that I have been at this situation before.

Does my mind play tricks on me ?

Or is it real ?

Today I finally figure out how to disable Adobe CS3 auto update feature, it’s been bugging me ever since.

It’s describe at http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402251

Essentially you need to manually edit your AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat located in …\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater5

Add <AutoCheck>0</AutoCheck> in it
