In anticipation of whatever shenanigans the mother ship plans in the next few days, I'd like to block off Quicken 2004's ability to connect to Intuit. I'm on a Win2000 system. What's the best way to do this, short of unplugging my internet connection?
Are you running a firewall?
If so, tell the firewall to block all connections to Intuit.

If you have a outbound checking firewall running, you could disable access for Quicken.

What shenanigans might that be?

I am happy with Q02; plan to keep it for a while.
I removed the one-step update button so I can not click it. Quicken provides a way to customize the button bar.
I don't think Quicken can zap you if you don't click one-step update.

This is what personal firewall software excels at. Give Zonealarm or Symantec firewall or whatever a whirl. The first time quicken tries to connect to the network, you'll be given a dialog box with options on what to do.
Best Regards,
If you don't have a software firewall with outbound blocking capability, determine what intuit hosts are being contacted, and enter those in your \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with 127.0.0.1 {=local host} - you will not be able to contact those server(s) until you remove the hosts entry
by this I mean things like

Eric,
I'd like to know too. What's the genesis of your fear?
Barry, you need a space in your sig delimiter. "-- "
