Hotmail Remember Me and Flash Cookies

Recommended Posts

Hi, couple of questions

 

1 - When I go to Hotmail, I'm presented with a list of my four Windows Live IDs (email addresses) to select Login against.

 

Why doesn't CCleaner clean these email addresses from wherever they are stored?

 

p.s. How are they stored? (I tried ticking clean I.E. Autocomplete in CCleaner but that didn't fix it)

 

 

2 - If I remember correctly, used to have a .sol file in my ignore list (which was set to "always ask" etc) as I found CCleaner used to delete .sols, meaning Flash defaulted to "allow cookie" etc.

 

Anyway, I forgot to make a note of the file location etc, when I uninstalled and installed a later version of CCleaner. Now I can't find where .sols are stored on my Vista PC anymore. They just don't seem to exist on my system even after visiting sites that used to use flash cookies etc.

 

Are they still used? Where are they?

 

Many thanks, in advance.

1) Through the websites "Remember my login" option, it's stored as a cookie.

 

Try deleting the cookies: Cleaner > Windows > Internet Explorer > Cookies

 

Flash Cookies: Cleaner > Applications > Multi Media > Adobe Flash Player

 

Through the built-in feature of the browser, it's stored encrypted in the registry.

 

Try clearing the boxes at login.

 

2) Vista:

 

OS(C:) > Users > (Name) > AppData > Roaming > Macromedia > FlashPlayer > Shared Objects > 9D54GCBJ

 

Bold file name is different on your computer.

 

OS(C:) > Users > (Name) > AppData > Roaming > Macromedia > FlashPlayer > Macromedia Flash > Support > FlashPlayer > Sys

 

When updating CCleaner to a later version, just install over the previous version to save settings.

 

You can also save your settings to an INI file.

I don't believe Hotmail cookies are stored in .sol files.

 

They are stored in these cookies:

c.live.com

c.msn.com

home.live.com

live.com

login.live.com

p.live.com

 

I'm not sure which is the main cookie but these are my live cookies I keep.
