What's the SOL file?

Hello everyone,

A "settings sol file" always appeared in the following path: C:\Documents and Settings\Vincent LIU\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys

Is it an inseparable file of flash player or what? I myself suspect it of being somewhat associated with the tracking cookies. Hope someone could explain sth. on this question.

Thanks in advance.

That are probably Flash locally shared objects (LSO).

Hi Cor-el,

I tried these days to make some changes in the setting panel in the aforementioned linkages. But it seems to me the sol file could still make their entry into my PC. Is this control panel available in the Firefox navigator proper, pls.?

Thanks in advance.
