Disable registration popup

I recently installed Quicken Home & Business 2004 on a w2k machine.
Previously I have been running on a Windows ME box. Whenever I update
now it always takes me through the registration process with Quicken
online. I have to cancel out then I can update. I have checked all
settings and I cannot find where to disable the registration popup. It
did not do this on the ME box. Where do I change the setting so it
does not invoke the online registration process?

From Quicken Matt in the Quicken Forums hosted by Intuit.

"Hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys on the keyboard, and go to the
Online menu. From the Online menu choose One Step Update. After
selecting One Step Update, with Ctrl + Shift still held down,
you will receive a message that states, "You will no longer be
prompted for registration." At this point registration is
disabled and you will not receive any further messages regarding
it. These instructions will work for Quicken 2003-2005. For
Quicken 2001-2002 you will need to use the Finance menu instead
of the Online menu. All other instructions are the same."

I've always said that the easiest thing to do is register with phony
information. There is no check done. It takes a few seconds and then
it's done. Better, IMHO, than spending so much time on finding a work
around...

Here is an answer someone gave me for the same question and it works:

Hold down CTRL+SHIFT at the same time, click on the Online menu, choose "One
Step Update" (while holding down CTRL+SHIFT). You should see a dialog
appears which states that "you will no longer be prompted for registration".

Enjoy.

But not being registered, you probably won't have access to lots of
features. Maybe you won't be able to update your stock prices! Be
careful for what you wish.
