Installing Flash Player w/o Admin Rights

Alright, I am using the school's comp to online, but unfortunately the admin account has been locked. I cannot install anything ( yet ). But after some googling, I managed to find a way to install the flash player for Firefox.

1. Download the xpi package from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi

2. Rename the attributes to .zip.

3. Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\ where
%APPDATA% is the folder which holds your applications profiles and settings. (You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK")

4. Run Firefox if you havent. Restart if you used it earlier.

5. Enjoy..
