Looks like CCleaner. But this tool is pointless since flash 10.3.

Thank you funkydude and Triple Helix, yes I know about the new native control panel/settings manager in Flash 10.3, thanks, it's just that mine does not seem
to retain the settings I apply, but I'm probably doing something wrong or misunderstanding in some way. Is it necessary to allow a cookie from Adobe
in order to maintain settings, for example? I suspect that's where I'm going wrong? Thanks again for your replies.

I'm not sure about Flash settings as I haven't looked at them. But I've set my browser to block 3rd party cookies and clear cookies on exit, so flash cookies are removed when my browser closes.

My browser is also set in this way, but it doesn't seem to block flash cookies.

It's not meant to "block" cookies, that would break functionality. But remove them when you're done, in a similar fashion to normal cookies.

Sorry funkydude, I know what you mean, I should have said remove, and realised as soon as I posted! Of course cookies must be allowed in many
instances for functionality. No worries anyway as I know my computers are
clean and cookie-free. Thanks.

sorry to break it to you but you can prevent them being written to disk and still have functionality.
I put the folders in protected file in commodo and deny access to plugin or whatever browser you are using and no flash cookies.
also the control panel in the latest does not work it gets reset to allow all right after you set it to deny all.
adobe should face criminal charges for all their crap.

Thank you jack90125, but I don't know how to do what you recommend.
Thought I'd overcome the issue with losing settings by adding settings.sol to
ignore list, but this didn't work, and today settings have returned to the default ones, which I don't want. Seems like it's impossible to control the settings ultimately?
