Disabling XrmToolBox features

XrmToolBox includes features that allow you to control the activation of two features:

  • You can control if XrmToolBox can collect anonymous statistics 
  • You can control if XrmToolBox can search for updates 

Restrict XrmToolBox anonymous statistics collect

To restrict this feature, you can create a registry key to block execution of the collection. The key is the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MscrmTools\XrmToolBox]
"IsStatisticsCollectDisabled"=dword:00000001

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MscrmTools\XrmToolBox]
"IsStatisticsCollectDisabled"=dword:00000001

If the key IsStatisticsCollectDisabled equals 1, then XrmToolBox won't collect statistics. This does not mean individual tools cannot collect statistics.

Restrict XrmToolBox updates

To restrict updates for XrmToolBox, you can create a registry key. The key is the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MscrmTools\XrmToolBox]
"IsCheckForUpdateDisabled"=dword:00000001

or

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MscrmTools\XrmToolBox]
"IsCheckForUpdateDisabled"=dword:00000001

If the key IsCheckForUpdateDisabled equals 1, then XrmToolBox won't check for update.

Registry evaluation order

Current user registry key is evaluated before Local machine one.
