Flash installation prompts?

I'm on a work computer that doesn't have Flash installed, and one of the ad banners (I'm not sure which it is, as I can't see it) keeps prompting my browser (IE 6, on Win2K) to install Flash. Is there something that can be done to stop the prompts *other* than installing Flash? I can't do that on this computer.

I'm not for sure on this... but theres two places I know of to check, both in Tools - Internet Options.

One is under Security, set it to a custom level, and see if theres a way to turn off flash there.

The other is under Advanced Options, see if theres a way to disable Flash on a page under that.

Tools\Internet Options\Security

It says "Download ActiveX Controls"

Change it from promp to Disable. That oughta fix it.

Thanks, both of you. That took care of it.

Mods, lock at will.

Also, if anyone reads this and uses mozilla on unix and is tired of the flash download popup, you can move libnullplugin.so out of the way (usually in /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins).

(Yes, there is a flash plugin you can use on FreeBSD or Linux, but it crashes, so I'm not willing to use it, since I only ever seem to see flash in ads...)
