does XP sp2 come with macromedia flash and shockwave installed?

[George]

Hi
I just installed xp sp2 and wondered if it comes with the macromedia plug
ins already installed?

[Jupiter Jones [MVP]]

No, since those are not Microsoft products.

You will have no trouble downloading them from the Internet. You
would have trouble trying to *avoid* downloading the damn things.

When I come upon a site that demands that you use Macromedia Flash
to view the site ... I go to a different site. I haven't found
this to be a problem. Lots of sites on the Internet.

You can install Macromedia Flash to douse the constant nags about installing
it, then install Flashkill to toggle a "kill bit" in the registry to disable
it while avoiding the nags.

DL it here: http://www.dozleng.com/Security/blockers.html

If Flashkill is enabled you won't see any Flash ads or other obnoxious
apparitions related to it, nor will you get any nags. The only site I've
found that really needs it is TVGuide.com, so the kill bit stays active most
of the time here. Be sure to read the Readme file.
