Flash player plugin not portable?

Hello guys i have a little problem.
After i installed Flash plugin for my Firefox some strange files Wink are created outside firefox directory in my WinXP system like this one
"C:\Documents and Settings\Milos\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\7XUMCVBM\s.ytimg.com\videostats.sol".
Is there any way to make flash player to keep settings in firefox directory?

No

Flash is designed to save it locally. It's shared objects are outside the control of all browsers and affect all browsers used on a given machine. They're called Local Shared Objects... aka Flash Cookies... aka Privacy-Busters.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

No, but you can...

No, but you can get CCleaner (not here, but they have a launcher - look for the "Other builds" link and get the portable version on the CCleaner site) and use that.

Once running CCleaner, click Options on the left and then the Include button. Add the root folder to your problem. Not Application Data but Macromedia. The folder will remain (AFAIK) but will be empty. Then just run CCleaner before ejecting your drive.

It's not too hard to do. Could be simpler, but not bad.
