Title says it all; there used to be an icon in the control panel on my computer for Flash Player where you could change update settings, storage etc. but it's now missing. How can I get it back??? I already tried clean installing flash player but that did not help.

Thanks!

How do you have the Control Panel to display items? If you have it set to Category View, the Flash Player item doesn't display. It needs to be set to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items for Flash Player item to display.

I have it set to category view but it has always showed up at the bottom of the list in category view. In the last few months apparently it went missing. It does show up though in all items; was this a change on Adobe's part recently???

Thanks for your help!

[update -- sorry, I didn't see that you'd located it] Nope, that was not a change on our part. Your view of the Control Panel probably got changed at some point from the classic view to category, which obscured the icon from your view.
