Adobe Flash Player is not a stand alone program, it is installed as an extension in the web browser you use, whether its Internet Explorer or Firefox. Basically, its contained within the browser. You can find it in Internet Explorer by click Tools > Manage Add Ons or Tools > Add Ons > Plug Ins (in Firefox).

That makes no sense to me. If the Flash Player is only present as a browser extension then what is player is playing the .swf files when I open them on my desktop? It's not as if it's bringing up Firefox or Chrome and playing them, it's a stand-alone player.
