Disable Macromedia Flash plugin installation prompt

How to do that with IE6, because I really hate popups and banners and most are made with flash, plus I hate clicking no ewerytime a site needs it. Thanks.

I haven't tried it, but you could try adding macromedia.com to the restricted sites list... I don't think it will even popup anything then...

I did this combination:

- first I run: regsvr32 %WinDir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\swflash.ocx /u

- then added to HOSTS file: 0.0.0.0 download.macromedia.com activex.microsoft.com active.macromedia.com
