How Stop Acrobat Reader 2.0 from checking for updates when..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Synchronising with emails containing PDFs, or simply copying PDFs via
ActiveSync to an iPAQ with Adobe Reader 2.0 installed is painfully slow.

It appears that the Reader attempts to do an update check for each and every
document, and then responds with the message following for each and every
document:

"Adobe Reader for Pocket PC has detected that your network is down, so check
for a newer version of the reader is not feasible now. Update will happen
once your network is up"

I have seen this problem posted on the Adobe website but no one has offered
a solution. (short of reinstalling Adobe Reader 1.0) Any takers here?
