Is there a way to view them without going to the Adobe site? In what directory in XP are they stored?

Nevermind. I found it C\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\

Check out information on Local Shared Objects (LSO's) at

Adobe Flash Player -- LSO's

Also, for Firefox users, I recommend the following

Better Privacy for Firefox

After a month of Better Privacy use, 423 LSO's have been removed from my system, despite the use of NoScript, Firefox's "Private Browser" feature, and adjusting the setting to "None" with the external Adobe applet mentioned in an earlier post.

Passive presumption of privacy equals no privacy. Pro-active privacy prevents peril. wink

(Anyone have a spare "p" they can lend me? I'm fresh out…)

Thanks for this information very helpful. First I have heard about LSO's.
