I deploy notepad++ to several computer labs where end users don't have administrative rights. I am able to deploy the software, but I need to turn off automatic updates so they aren't getting popups when the next version comes out. Is there a way to do this either via command line switches on install or after install by modifying the registry, or other files?
I am currently installing with:
"npp.6.6.9.Installer.exe" /S
Windows – disable notepad++ updates on install or through script – Windows 7

There's a couple of ways you could do it. If you don't deploy the
updater
folder then the updating functionality won't work (and you don't appear to get any error messages). If you just want to disable the option you'll need to edit the user's config.xml file, e.g.The line you're after is:
Change the 'no' to 'yes' and the auto-update checking will stop.
