How can I stop Firefox to install a shortcut on my desktop whenever I restart the computer?
Even if I move it to the trash, it continues to display on my desktop after each reboot. It's like a zombie who won't die.
I think I solved it. I went to My Documents and Settings folder > folder all users > folder Start Menu > programs. There was a shortcut in there. I took it and it didn't come back. Thank you all.

Then, even when I load Web sites (like those that we here at my work have created) with very simple HTML and absolutely nothing Flash related, I always get a pop-up asking me to install flash (pop down from the URL bar on the left.) How can I stop this without disable all updates of plug-in?
Also, why in the name of all that is good it wonder on Flash when I have no pages open with anything remotely Flash like on them?
Thanks to anyone who can answer.
my thought was that maybe an extension is inserting the flash code in each page visited...
