Description Christian Persch 2005-04-04 20:48:02 UTC 
Flash objects can store data per-site too, unless the user has gone to the flash
prefs panel and disabled it. If the user has disabled cookies, we should disable
flash data storage.
The setting is stored in ~/.macromedia/Macromedia/Flash
Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol, but the file format
isn't clear.

See http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2003-October/012712.html
for how to change the settings:

ystem administrators can edit the file %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash
Player\maromedia.com\support\sys\settings.sol and change the bytes at
positions c7 and c8 to contain BF and F0, respectively (ASCII ¿ and ð), to
restrict data storage for Flash applications as an end-user would above.

We could also figure out the file format by changing settings from
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html
and looking at how the file changes.

Closing this bug as it concerns an NPAPI plugin.
