If you DENY read/write access to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\Clients\{8A69D345-D564-463c-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}

And add the following DWORD:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome]
"DisableChrome"="1"

(not yet implemented)


Then this will prevent Google Chrome from running, even without giving an error message.

These settings could be useful to deploy in the enterprise as Google Chrome would violate corporate policy, considering that Google would track your employees by sending a userid and a machineid every time it looks for an update.
