Is it possible to configure Notepad++ to stop checking for new versions each time it is run?

Every time Nodepad++ is started a dialog pops with:

An update package is available, do you want to download it?

Simply go to:

Settings -> Preferences -> Misc -> and deselect "Enable Notepad++ auto-updater"

Thanks! You left out a part, though. The sequence is actually this: Settings -> Preferences -> MISC -> deselect "Enable Notepad++ auto-updater" – Keyslinger Apr 19 '10 at 18:56

This option does not appear to exist in the newest versions of Notepad++. – JamesGecko Aug 19 '10 at 13:38

You may also be looking to turn off plugin update checking, in which case go to:

Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager -> Settings (bottom left), and deselect "Notify of plugin updates at startup".
