browser plugin info

Is there an easy way to get info from browsers on what plugins they have
installed? For example, what version of quicktime does the browser have
installed if any?

Thanks

php only has access to the info provided in the request headers and browser
plugins aren't part of that info. At least not last time I checked.

It just blows me away that people can't comprehend the difference
between a server-side and a client-side language!

No, of course "php can't do it" it isn't SUPPOSED to be able to
do it. That's not a bug, that's a FEATURE.

Are there any plans by Microsoft or anyone else to ever create a browser plugin that can run .NET apps? One that can work in any browser like the Flash or Acrobat plugins? I know about smart clients and clickonce (below), I was just curious. This is almost a showstopper for developing educational software if there will never be any way to run it in the browser. I thought since ..NET can sandbox program execution it wouldn't be a big...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
