Hello Pal,

To disable "Check for updates", use this registry entry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\Common\OfficeUpdate]
"BlockUpdates"=dword:00000001

[For more information on how to get this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011401671033.aspx]

To disable "Activate Product", use this registry entry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Visio\DisabledCmdBarItemsList]
"TCID1"="5933"

[For more information on how to get this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011402401033.aspx]

Hope this will help!

Regards,
Jagadeesh. P

I had tried this and this setting doesnot work for Visio. It works for Office
2003 but not for Project and Visio.

Thanks

package to 10 users but waiting for this to be resloved. Please help.
