icon_rolleyes.gif What have I done? I sure hope someone can help me figure it out.

A while ago I installed some software product that had a fucntion to block Flash from browsers. I set it to allow Flash in Firefox, but disallow it in IE. (I use IE for my main browser, and don't like not having choice over whether I get attacked by Flash files without good reason, but still wanted it on Firefox forthose times when I NEED access to Flash).

I thought it was one of my spyware protectors that had the flash-killing option (Spybot and ad-aware) but it seems not. Now I can't find out what product it was/is so I can uninstall it, because I want access to Flash in IE.

Does anyone know any products that do this? I really don't fancy a full reinstall of windows. icon_redface.gif I've googled my brains out looking for possible clues and found absolutely nothing except a popup blocker, which I don't have (I have Google toolbar for popup blocking).

Hi Scapes Welcome to Cz,

Geez you know there has to be millions of programs out there that will block flash. I did find this for you though, maybe it will help.

Excellent - thanks icon_mrgreen.gif

A friend did find me a little software gadet but a reg fix seems like a much better solution.
I'll see how it goes.

Well so far it's working perfectly icon_cool.gif

Don't know if I'll ever figure out what the software was that blocked them in the first place. But it probably doesn't matter too much really. Thanks again icon_smile.gif

I did the registry edit. Actually I downloaded the standalone installer and ran that, then checked the registry and the value was still there, so I deleted it as per the instructions.
