You can disable Adobe Flash animations in websites by disabling the Adobe Shockwave Flash Object using the Manage Add-ons dialog in Internet Explorer, or by setting a "kill-bit<\/a>" in the registry. What if you want to enable Flash animations by default on a handful of sites (whitelist) but not on other sites? In Internet Explorer 7, only the developer of an ActiveX control could configure it as a per-site control, using the SiteLock<\/a> ActiveX Control Template. In Internet Explorer 8, it’s possible for an end-user to enable ActiveX Controls on a per-site basis<\/a>, via the Manage Add-ons dialog.<\/p>\n

How to White-list Sites for Adobe Flash<\/h2>\n

1. Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, and select Manage Add-ons<\/p>\n

2. Select All add-ons<\/b> from the dropdown box<\/p>\n

3. Double-click the Shockwave Flash Object.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By default, Flash ActiveX control is set to run on all sites.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Click the Remove all sites<\/b> button, and close the dialog. This prevents Flash ActiveX control from running, for all sites.<\/i><\/p>\n

5. Close the Manage Add-ons dialog<\/p>\n

6. Browse to a website (e.g. youtube.com<\/i>) for which you want to enable Flash animations. You’ll see the yellow information bar requiring your permission to run the control.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Click the information bar and choose Run Add-on.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The animation runs, and the current website is added to the white-list automatically. This will be reflected in the Manage Add-ons dialog, as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Registry Settings<\/h2>\n

The white-list data is stored in the following registry location:<\/p>\n

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ Software \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Ext \\ Stats \\ {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} \\ iexplore \\ AllowedDomains<\/div>\n

Where {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} is the Class ID for Adobe Flash ActiveX Control. The Class ID varies for every ActiveX control.<\/i><\/p>\n

The allowed sites are added as subkeys to the AllowedDomains key.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This key can be exported to a .REG file and deployed across other PCs using Group Policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
