How to change settings back to auto-update

A while ago I changed the settings on Flash Player from "Allow Adobe to install updates" to "Notify me to install updates", thinking that the first setting therefore wouldn't notify me and would just update, then ask me if I wanted to reboot now or later! I've since discovered that's not the case and the second setting requires a manual update, so I'm wanting to change it back again so it updates automatically. Can someone tell me how that's done?

I've seen something in a help area about going to Control Panel > Flash Player, but this isn't a direct option on my PC. I'm using Windows XP.

Thanks.

Dave.

Hi Dave,

You should have a "Flash Player (32-bit)" control panel in your Windows control panels. If you double click that, simply go to the Advanced tab and select "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" in the Updates section.

Sorry, but I already mentioned above that I don't have that, or at least I can't find it!

When I go to Start and Control Panel it says "Pick a category" and there are 10 options, which include things like Appearance and Themes, Network and Internet Connections, Add or Remove Programs, etc...

So please can you tell me where I can find it? Also, the simpler you can explain things the better!

Thanks.

Dave.

Hi Dave,

On the left hand side of the control panel window there is a link that says "Switch to Classic View".

Click that and then the Flash Player control panel should appear.
