That was short-lived; my prefs reverted again, /Users/artie/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol was not deleted, and I've got absolutely no recollection of having seen any Flash cookies.
I'm still confused, though, by the fact that this exchange has remained our private venue; is it that nobody else is experiencing the issue or that nobody else cares?
Edit: I just trashed everything on my deuced Mac(hina) that had "Flash," "Macromedia," or "Adobe" in its path and reinstalled Flash; let's see what happens.
fwiw, the script in this post is still the version i use today to view (and optionally delete) those flash cookies & caches. [Run without arg to just list items. Run with any arg to delete everything except adobe's own sol file.]
