Well, literally, IE/Mac uses plugins, and you can move these from the

browser's "plugin" folder.


If you're instead trying to uninstall a system-level ActiveX Control for

IE/Win, then searching the technotes with keyword "uninstall" pulls up:

"How to Remove the Flash Player ActiveX Control"

If you're actually trying to test some type of detection routine, then it's

usually easier to use one that was already written and tested... there are

tons of these. I'm seeing more and more people that just present the

content with a "can't see it?" link.


If you're actually seeking to do *version* detection, then the new Flash

Deployment Kit and technotes (keyword "detect and version") can help:

You're hearing it from MediaMetrix and IDC! Doublecheck their methodology

documentation or the previous discussions here.


Although the little "gazillions served" icon is not on the current

Macromedia splash page, you can still link into this area directly:

Recap: As of March 2000, two-thirds of consumers worldwide could view Flash

4 content without downloading anything new, and well over 90% could view at

least some Flash content. In that same month the daily download rate

surpassed two million completions per day, each and every day... the Flash

4 percentages should be significantly higher in the current June consumer

audits. It's all very amazing.
