CeeCee Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I just found out, that you can actually stop Flash Player from loading "floating Flash ads", by editing Flash Player own settings. Here's how to do it: Flash Player settings are stored in to .sol file, so you need an .sol Editor to view/modify those settings. After you have installed it, go to following path; C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\. Double click settings.sol to open it with .sol Editor. Go to windowlessDisable and check the 'Value' option. Then go to 'File' menu and select "Save". I tested it and it works with IE, but Opera does not obey that setting. Don't know about Firefox... Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It can also be used in changing saved info on some flash games. Just sharing the information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted September 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2007 Has anyone tried this "ad thing"? I haven't because I use Adblock Plus with Firefox. I only replied here because for the Flash Player settings to be retained you'll have to untick Adobe Flash Player in CCleaner in "Cleaner->Applications->Multimedia", otherwise CCleaner will wipe out the settings and any modifications.

CeeCee Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 I don't use it either, because i use Ad Muncher and Opera's build-in Ad blocker. + it doesn't work with Opera. Anyway, i don't think that many people know this feature about Flash Player... It was surprise for me also. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
