How to control which sites will use Flash with Internet Explorer

Other web browsers such as Google Chrome off a “click-to-play” option to offer control of when plug-ins such as Flash are used.  A similar configuration can be used with Internet Explorer.  Access the “Manage Add-ons” dialog box within Internet Explorer.  Right-click on the Flash entry and select the “More Information” menu selection.
