Hello Robert -

The only 'prompt' I see is put up by webpages asking if I want
to add another plugin. After it's installed there may be
prompts to PAY for it (register) otherwise I see no prompts, no. 

RS> Do later versions of Windows disallow turning the crap Off? 

I've been told some might require editing the registry to
completely disengage them but, at times, some people DO want
these on (movie trailers, NASA realtime shuttle launch
sequences, etc.). 

For me, Opera is the only browser that I have that allows me to
easilly turn these on/off and even block graphics from
displaying with just one click for on or off.
