Making Flash Player Default Program for .flv Files

I'd like to use Adobe Flash Player as my default program to open .flv files.  How do I find the flash player executable file on my computer?  I have the latest flash player successfully installed on my computer (Win7, 64-bit, Firefox) but cannot locate the executable file when I use the find program to use with this file type browse command.  Any ideas on where it may be located?  I did not see it in any of the Adobe folders in the program files (x86) folder.  Thanks for your help.

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable player.

There is a standalone player (Projector) that you can download from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but this player can only play .swf files.

There used to be an Adobe Media Player to play .flv files, but is is no longer available.  Use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player to play .flv files.

Thank you, Pat.  I did not realize this, so no wonder I have been scratching my head.  I appreciate your suggestions, too.  🙂
