Connect Install Dialog

As you navigate through the Shares web UI, each page check for the presence of the Connect browser plugin. If the plugin is not present, it shows a message to download the plugin. Changing the value of this option from the default "false" to "true" will stop Shares from auto-prompting on each visited page.
