Hi,

Not sure. I just checked my system and I don't have that program :smileysad:

However, when I did a search for it and then clicked on it my system shut down. I don't think I like this program.

Hi Calls,

 

It appears to be a Control Panel Applet.  -  http://www.isthisfilesafe.com/sha1/2567C043FE3DF4C1C1236F6912A296BB9A89D0C3_details.aspx

It is the Flash Player Settings Manager, which as Krusty said, is accessible though the Windows Control Panel.  If you hit Start > Run, and type in flashplayerapp.exe it launches the Settings Manager.

Re: What is FlashPlayerApp.exe?

so I Just noticed this item in
C:/Windows/system32 folder only after installing the latest FlashPlayer 11.2
I had never seen it before in that folder. I alwaus had a dll file from adobe for flash player in that folder. but now I have that PLUS this new one. Is that true of everyone who just downloaded the new flash player?
