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. 🙂
