This article describes how to disable the Macromedia Flash Player on Presentation servers. One of the most problematic issues associated with using a published Internet Explorer on a MetaFrame server is the Macromedia Flash Player. The Macromedia Flash Player uses lot of bandwidth, and it can impact the quality of the ICA communication on slow connections.

The problem here is that Macromedia Flash Player versions 7 and 8 use the non-standard type REG_SZ instead of REG_DWORD. The following procedure disables the Macromedia Flash Player in such a way that the user is not be prompted for a download. The procedure does not remove the Macromedia Flash Player, but disables it completely.

You must create an ActiveX compatibility registry key for the Macromedia Flash Player.
