You can uninstall the MS-provided Flash using one of these commands: Before KB923789: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\WINDOWS\INF\swflash.inf,DefaultUninstall,5 After: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstfl.exe -q I'm pretty sure Flash was included with IE4 through IE6 and all operating systems which included them.
