How does the Flash autoupdate work? Never quite understood that. I ran the uninstaller, went to a Web page with the adobe player, and it seems to instantly have the Flash player installed back in again - so I assumed it was the autoupdater - unless the uninstaller I ran silently failed or something...
If you're in Internet Explorer, then you may need to restart the system to actually complete the removal of an ActiveX Control... that's the way the Microsoft architecture works, and this might be the cause of this part of the description.
The update mechanism itself is a notification service -- just lets you know that a new version is available -- doesn't install without your express permission.

I cannot see my Flash player 9 object like my co-worker can by going to Internet Explorer 6:Tools > Settings> Internet Options > View Objects.
I'm not good on this part, sorry... I keep Internet Explorer installed but I'm not sure what they expose where, or how different installations might show things in different interfaces. Maybe someone else has a hypothesis on this part...?
