Sorry if it's been answered already.
Sorry I posted to 3 groups - can't cross-post with my program.
Sorry if anyone thinks it's NOT an intrusion, but I happen to!

Macromedia is forever creating files on my PC which I have to manually
erase. Why can't they just vanish like other Internet files?

I find them in:-

Doc&Settings \ x \ Application Data \ Macromedia \ Flash Player
#Shared Objects
macromedia.com\support

Any helpful (as opposed to smart***) replies gratefully received !!!

Thanks
Neil

This is kind of cookie file of Flash Player. It is similar to javascript
cookie. I don't know easy way to remove it, but for sure there is
application caller shared object reader which should remove those files.
