Thanks Gregg.  I just tried moving it (the Netscape Flash plugin dll) to

a different folder and I tried renaming it, and both times when I opened

up Netscape again, it had the new location and/or the new name of the

file as the plugin location.  Pretty smart; the registry must get

updated when I move or rename the file.  I don't want to mess with the

registry without knowing what I'm trying to accomplish, so if someone

(Matt?  still hanging around?) could give me the official

recommendation, I'll gladly give it a try.  Original message below.


Thanks,

Helen
