Do not know who told you that but that is wrong unless you want different sites to use flash differently. I set it once and that is it.
Of course if one was to delete the settings.sol on their hard drive then the user would need to reset it.

I do have the flash plug-in and use the settings you've suggested in the Flash Settings Panel. Why would the file be missing?

At any rate, it's buried at 'Documents and Settings/[User]/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys'.
If it's not there, it will be re-created once a Flash video asks you about storing data on your hard drive, or you make a change at the settings site online. |

If you did a search and it did not show up it may be being hidden by Windows.
Proceed to folder options and make sure you have:
"Show hidden files and folders" check marked.

Maybe you or a cleaning app removed it? Yeah, maybe CCleaner removed it--even tho the new CCleaner version still refuses to show Flash in the applications window (although it does show it as a removable program in Tools/Uninstall). 
When you get the Flash request to store data on the hard drive, do you allow if you feel the site is safe?

Yeah it's always checked. As I mentioned in my post to Abie, the new CCleaner version still refuses to show Flash in the applications window (although it does show it as a removable program in Tools/Uninstall). I may have to add Flash to winapp2.ini which seems totally weird.

said by Pentangle :. . When you get the Flash request to store data on the hard drive, do you allow if you feel the site is safe? Sure (10kb worth, anyway). If it's a site I'm visiting on a one-shot basis, negatory. But sites like YouTube, etc., that I'm at fairly regularly I allow.
That prevents the annoyance of being asked at every video, and besides, I go to that 'sys' folder every week or two and clean 'em all out and start over.
Keeps me from getting that 'not-so-fresh' feeling. 
Flash is a POS-- but it's not such a POS that I feel it necessary to ban it from my computer. I like watching videos online.
It would be nice if sites could use some other format (and/or provide generally better quality), but they don't. Therefore . . . .
said by La Luna :. . If you decline to use Adobe flashplayer or MS Silverlight, you will no longer be able to view any flash content/flash videos, it's as simple as that. The mere thought of such a horror has me all broken out in hives, Luna . . .  |
