Uninstalling/Downgrading Flash Player

As testers, we often need to test web apps with different versions of flash player.. And whoever has ever tried to do that, never got it right in first attempt.. Talk about Usability

Uninstall Flash Player
Flash Player Older Versions
Now here’s the catch, if you were using latest Flash Player 10 ActiveX control (basically FP 10 on IE), you won’t be able to install previous 10 version even after using this uninstaller.. Reason being, there are lot many apps using flash files – browsers, IMs.. So it never gets uninstalled properly. Solution is quite simple.
1. Copy Flash uninstaller to your hard drive
2. Open Command Prompt
3. Navigate to the location where you have this uninstaller
4. Type uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
5. Press Enter
6. Flash player uninstaller will launch. Simply continue.
7. Do click on details once uninstall is complete.
8. If it says Delete on Boot. Restart your system.
That’s it.. your system is free for any other versions to be installed
Umm.. Just A minute.. What was that?

Funny thing happened today.. I found myself apologizing for something I didn’t do and had no control either.. And then I realized I’ve been doing it for quite sometime.. And only with my friends..
Well.. What’s been happening is.. If I get something that my friends wanted (nice date, shoes, dress.. ) I find myself trying to play it down, make it sound like it was just circumstantial and had they been in my place, they would have gotten it as well.. Basically just feel guilty.
And today I did that ‘coz I got few more invites than them.. Now why should I do that? I’ve never asked for attention.. I might brag at times (ok, more than few times) about the treatment I get at my regular haunts.. But I know the reason for that.. I took time out to remember their names.. greet them nicely.. and smile with them often.. I just try to be what my parents taught me to be.. Be Nice to everyone regardless of their station..
Why should I apologize for the preferences I get then?
If two of us met a guy and he asks me out rather than you, How is it my fault? It’s not as if I took my shirt in front of him or offered to give him a lap dance… (atleast not when you were standing next to me 
)
I’m sorry but I’m done apologizing for things I didn’t do. If you are jealous or you think I don’t deserve it, it’s your problem not mine. Just because we are friends, you don’t get away with it.
Sigh.. Things were so much simple when all I had was guy friends.. They never got jealous, well mostly
