There was no "Silverlight" there. Only one plugin related to Facebook. Can't delete something that's not there.... seems to me.

I found the Facebook plug in by accident. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Maybe there are OTHER plug-ins somewhere else on this machine.

Let's take this step by step:
How does one "navigate to the hard drive"?

Here's the message I get when i try to use Netflix Instant View:

>>>To uninstall Microsoft Silverlight on your Macintosh computer, please follow these steps:

Completely close any currently open internet browser windows.
Navigate to your Hard Drive.
Select Library.
Select Internet Plugins.
Drag Silverlight.plugin to your trash.
Once you have emptied your trash, Microsoft Silverlight uninstallation will be complete.
After completing the above steps, attempting to Watch Instantly on www.netflix.com will prompt you to reinstall Microsoft Silverlight.>>>>>

I have a Macbook Pro... bought about three years ago.
