Flash 5 does not seem to be installed by default. Upon visiting any flash 
website, I was immediately prompted to download the Flash 7 player.

Flash 7 directory: WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\flash.ocx

The following plugins are not installed in IE:

Quicktime
Shockwave
Adobe

Once Quicktime and Adobe have been installed, they do show up in Firefox as 
plugsin.

In Firefox I have to download and install the Flash 7 plugin, and then it shows 
in the about:plugins list.

In Windows 2k Sp4 the flash plugin was NOT seen in firefox. While on flash site
a request for plugin appear.Whille clicked to get and install plugin it hangs
out. Only help was to go to macromedia site and download and install flash manually.
