To disable "registration","check for updates" and get "plug-ins" the only option is to remove the whole "Assistance" panel.
This is done by editing file: "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Autodesk Design Review\11.0\userdata\RibbonConfig.xml" and setting "ID_RibbonPanelSource_Help_Assistance_" -> IsVisible="False".
Design Review 2001 Requires;
