How do I turn off the auto update feature programmatically? We have multiple users using Windows as Restricted Users, so the auto update notifications bug them about something they have no control over. I want to turn off this feature, preferably on a per-machine basis, rather than per-user.

I expected I would edit config.xml or config.model.xml in NotePad++'s program directory, specifically <GUIConfig name="noUpdate">yes</GUIConfig>, but it seems not.

Similarly editing the same files, the same way, in %APPDATA%\Notepad++\config.xml, had no effect.

There's no documentation I can find on this.
