When I use Chrome with a certain page, I get the following message shown in a yellow bar along the top of my screen:
The Java plug-in was blocked because it is out of date.
I have the following options:
I can't upgrade the plugin due to system policy.
If I click on the X to get rid of the bar, is there a way to later on choose the "Run this time" option?
For Java specifically, Chrome now disables Java by default on all pages and prompts you to allow it to run each time a site needs it.
For more general plugin worries, Chrome allows you to block all plugins on all sites completely, and then allows you to selectively enable them on a page without reloading it. You can also configure exceptions for particular URLs.
To enable this, under the Plug-ins section of the settings url: chrome://settings/content select "Block All".
With this option enabled, when you want to run plugins on a page you have 3 options:
Chrome also has a "Click to play" setting which is hidden behind a flag in some versions of Chrome. As a commenter mentioned, this option is vulnerable to clickjacking attacks so I would advise against using it. You're better off with the "Block all" feature.

If you reload the page, I believe chrome will ask again for the plugin...
But instead of incessantly facing that prompt, run chrome with
--allow-outdated-pluginscommand line switch. Let me warn you that this is not secure though.
