large amount of CPU. To fix this problem we used the following solution:
To quickly disable and enable Flash in Internet Explorer on demand, here is an extension of the above registry edit. Tested with NT 4 but should also work in XP and Win 2K.
Use a text editor (Notepad is fine) to create file:
c:\flash_disable.reg
Enter the following 3 lines - NOTE** (everything between brackets [] should begin and end on one line)
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
Save this file and create another file, name it c:\flash_enable.reg
Enter the following 3 lines - NOTE** (everything between brackets [] should begin and end on one line)
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]
Save this file and exit the editor.
You can now choose how you would like to run each of the created files.
Click Start-Run and type C:\flash_disable.reg, or C:\flash_enable.reg
Create shortcuts on your desktop to execute files.
