You Tube and Flash Player

Grrrrr.
They've just installed new laptops here at the work and I used to be able to watch youtube in the mornings when it was quiet.Now I can't watch it because I can't install macromedia flash player.It says I need admin rights to install.
Does anyone know a wee work around for this?
cheers

install ffdshow and enable flv decoding then get the url to the video (http://www.keepvid.com) then paste it into mplayerc.exe and stream it

I really just want a way to install flash player and bypass the admin rights.
Not a bad idea though six.
Just a bit too much hassle if i want to look at stuff fairly quickly.
Appreciated.

As trib indicated, Flash (under Firefox, anyway) doesn’t actually require any kind of installation process. All you need to do is copy two files from the Flash installer to the Firefox plugins directory.
Specifically, you’ll need to copy these two files:
flashplayer.xpt, NPSWF32.dll

To this directory:
Mozilla Firefox\plugins\

You can do this either by installing Flash on a separate computer and copying the files over (as trib did), or by simply extracting the necessary files from the Flash installer and copying them directly.
There are a few programs capable of doing this, but to make the process easier I’ve wrapped them into an easy-to-use program that can extract files from several different types of installer (and other archives). The name of the program is Universal Extractor, and it can be downloaded from here:

Hope this helps.

And if you can't install firefox, use portable firefox.
