Hi,
I'd thought I would submit a wrap up post to summarize the answer and side
issues.
IE cannot erase the Flash player cookies, or presumbly, of any other plugin.
Adobe has, with v10.1, added a feature to the Flash player that will
recognize the private browsing mode (of IE and other browsers) and erase
anything stored during the private session.
The best Google search terms are "flash player cookies inprivate". When I
submitted this search, the second link was the Adobe post explaining all of
this.
There are many websites that copy these user groups posts with the sole
purpose of selling advertising. This greatly pollutes the search results and
is the reason I came to this user group in the first place.
I am also surprised that Google profiles me and other posters. In the Google
profile for
it lists 2300+ posts made by that email
address. I don't see any positive value to me or society in Google
storing/listing my posts in one page (of course those are not all my posts).
Google results can be deceptive as well as wrong. I happen to planning a
trip to Las Vegas and searched Google for "salt lick bbq las vegas". It
returned a result that this restaurant is in the Red Rock Casino. But that
placed closed a year and half ago. The link displayed a cached page of the
casino site and I did not see any notice that it was a cached page and
therefore wrong. I did not see a link reporting that this chain had left the
Las Vegas market.
Thanks
