CiviCRM Extension: Prevent sending event registration confirmation from the back-office

This extension to CiviCRM looks like it may solve an issue we are having. We wish to not send out receipt emails when registering someone to an event. We are running CiviCRM 4.4.4 on Joomla 3. When I go to System Settings - Manage Extensions and select Add New, this extension doesn't come up as compatible.

But if I go to https://civicrm.org/extensions, then I see the extension.

I have downloaded the ZIP file. But am not sure how I need to install it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

That did the trick. Thank you for the link.

I've updated the extension so you can install it from the back office.

check out the doc on how to do install extensions automatically.

On closer examination. I realize now that there's a whole group of field called 'Registration confirmation' that gives you the option of sending an email and who it should come from and any additional message to include. Unfortunately, that field group was only displayed when I clicked on the contact name in the form above (just a fluke that I did that). When I clicked on that name, it must have triggered something to load that extra set of fields. (screenshot of those fields attached)

So now I'm wondering how to fix this so that the field will show up without the user having the click on the contact name, and how do I uncheck that email notification option so that it isn't enabled by default?
