Answer 1

You can edit the registry. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\8.0\AutoRun, rename the UpdateCheck key or remove the contents of UpdateCheck\ProgramToRun.

You need to do likewise under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but don't forget about registry redirection on 64 bit - then the key is: Software\Wow6432Node\Embarcadero\BDS\8.0\AutoRun

Answer 2

On XE2 you don't have to poke around the registry manually - just run C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\bin\DisableIDEUpdateCheck.reg
