The below script will disable the auto update feature of Adobe Shockwave, I have tested this script on version 11.5 but it should also work on other versions.
on error resume next Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Disable auto update regKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Shockwave 11\AutoUpdate\" regValue = "n" objShell.RegWrite regKey, regValue, "REG_SZ" Set objShell = nothing
