Question: I updated to IE8 the other day on my Vista laptop, mostly because Windows Update kept bugging me about it. As a Chrome user, I don't really care so much about IE8, but I do have to use it occaisionally to test website compatibility.

At any rate, flash seems to be completely deactivated, and I don't see a place to re-enable it anywhere in the preferences. I've done a bit of googling on the issue, but only found information about how to disable flash, not how to actually enable it.

I have the flash 10 debug player installed, and it works fine with Chrome and Firefox. What could be the matter?

Answer: 
The [CustomizeGoogle](http://www.customizegoogle.com/) Firefox extension helps to filter search results 

This is probably the easiest way i found ,rather than typing operators for each and every search
Have you tried doing a -experts-exchange.com in your Google query?

It'd be funny for Experts Exchange to get a bunch of queries concerning this!
