Move Flash Settings to AppData\Roaming instead of Local?

I have a Network site license for Adobe CS4 Flash. However, my users Settings KEEP deleting because they are stored in AppData\Local instead of AppData\Roaming (Windows 7) or Local Settings\Application Data instead of just Application Data (XP).
In a Network, local settings are deleted on logoff.
WHY on EARTH would Adobe Change this? We have been running Adobe Flash (Macromedia before that) for 10 years and we never had issues with MX, Flash 8, Flash 9 or CS3 but in CS4 all the settings move to the ONE folder that deletes on logoff?
The weird thing is that Dreamweaver CS4, Photoshop CS4, Indesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4, Fireworks CS4 ALL store their settings in the Application Data folder, not the Local one.
It is JUST Flash that is being annoying.
I have upgraded to 10.0.2 and it hasn't made a difference.
I need to figure out the hack to fix this asap as it is driving my users crazy.

With Flash CS3 it stored it in the AppData\Roaming. In fact ALL the Adobe products still do, except Flash.
Here is the documentation on where they have designated the Preferences to save. Note the "local settings" for XP and the Local for Windows 7.
Kind of very dumb because the Local Settings deletes on logoff..

Save custom settings (optional)
To save custom commands and other settings, create a copy of this folder:
CS5.5
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS5.5\<language>\
Windows Vista & Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5.5\<language>\
CS5
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS5\<language>\
Windows Vista & Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\<language>\
CS4
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS4\<language>\
Windows Vista & Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS4\<language>\

Why am I having difficulty streaming movies know and there is also a pop up Adobe Flash Settings that comes up from the person s who have the web site

Why am I know having such difficulty streaming movies, it constantly stopping to upload,, pretty frustrating. There a also pop ups that have started to come up " Adobe Flash Settings "Some go away when I click deny, others I need to leave the site because deny won't shut it.

Blacklist the site. The Flash popups are probably attempts to download malware.
Do not get Flash from anywhere other than Adobe themselves.

I can manually stop the process but I have to do that every time I start the pc.
is this a flash player file or a virus or what?

SpeedCache is a Wordpress plugin
It's not anything from Adobe. If you work with WordPress, you may have installed it. Or... it may have installed from somewhere else.
Good news is: it's not malware. If you don't need it, unistall it.

C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\File Cache\file.vbs

Hello, I'm having a problem with a Windows Script Host error, everytime I restart my computer, a window popup saying that it is not possible to find the script file in "C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\File Cache\file.vbs". Is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

that's not an adobe file.
update your antivirus definitions and run a thorough antivirus scan of your computer.

Why are there databases for two websites in my appdata roaming firefox default profile folder?

C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\http_www.fling.com_
C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\i4unw84s.default\databases\https_cashier.bovada.lv_
Both of these website databases have 64 KB and are io_temp.sqlite files. I want to know how they were created and what information is being stored there. I know my boyfriend goes on the bovada site alot but want to know if he has personal login info stored for both of these sites. I know they aren't cookies because I saw the list of cookies and deleted them and these files are still there. I really want to know if the only way the websites could be in the folder is because he intentionally saved info stored on those sites and if not, then why are they part of his roaming profile?

hello, i could find no documentation whatsoever on what the ''databases'' folder within the profile or a ''io_temp.sqlite''-file would do in the context of firefox (maybe this was an early version of ''dom storage'' or ''indexeddb'').
if you are having questions about the usage of these sites by your boyfriend, you should probably speak with him directly about this, instead of finding an answer this way...

I created a movie that I also posted to my .Mac web gallery, but now I wonder if there is a local copy and where it is stored on my iMac....
Until or unless you modify your iMovie '08 project, a copy will be maintained in the "Movie > iMovie Projects" > named project file package in the "Movies" folder.

How do I locate 5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01 and what does it mean?

I am just wondering how I can locate this ~5/20/2011 1:05:09 AM Packed: Swf2Swc C:\Documents and Settings\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3xe4911x.default\Cache\F\0D\C12DFd01~ what is it and what are profiles...on mozilla I have someone remotly doing things to my computer I didn't sign up for,

1. This is where your main Profile folder is located:
C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
2. Secondary location:
C:\Documents and Settings\myname\'''Local Settings\Application Data'''\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
No, don't delete that folder or the files in it. Those files would be re-created the next time you open Firefox. Those files are necessary.
3. Firefox put that file there, so it knows its' there. Delete it and Firefox will download that data all over again, and put it back in that folder.
4. Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqlite''' file in the main Profile folder, since the Firefox 3 versions.
Some of those files have been moved around from one major version of Firefox to the next to improve various aspects of "performance" and also to minimize file size for automated personal data backup purposes & for roaming Profiles in a large network setting. The urlclassifier file can get to be quite large, which could really screw-up roaming Profiles on a network server.

AppData Roaming Issues

Hi - I have a policy that redirects AppData folder separate from the user's Documents, Desktop, Favorites, etc. Each folders are separated from each other so redirection happens on all folders when users login into TS server. The issue with AppData is when
the user logs in to a local laptop as themselves, it also does roaming locally to the laptop which causes the following scenario:
1. Local AppData streams over a slow bandwidth link (vpn, ptp, dsl).
2. Local AppData settings (i.e. user personalized settings, task bar shortcuts, etc.) doesn't work when the user is not plugged in to the domain network.
Question:
1. I was wondering if there's a way to create a policy that will detect if the user is on a slow link network (i.e. remote, vpn, etc).
2. Is there a way to leave AppData cache when user is not in the domain network leaving user's personalized settings in their laptops?
Please kindly advise.
Cheers - DB

Hi,
For using Folder Redirection to redirect Appdata, only Appdata roaming can be redirected.
Besides, Folder redirection applies only to applications that use the Windows shell APIs to redirect common folder paths. For example, if an application writes a file to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming,
the file is written to the local profile and not redirected to the network location.
Regarding Folder Redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

1. I was wondering if there's a way to create a policy that will detect if the user is on a slow link network (i.e. remote, vpn, etc).
Yes, we can use Group Policy to configure slow link threshold.
Regarding slow link detection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

>>2. Is there a way to leave AppData cache when user is not in the domain network leaving user's personalized settings in their laptops?
Usually, Folder Redirection is used together with Offline Files which is enabled by default.
Offline Files makes network files available to an end user when a network connection to the server is unavailable or slow.
Regarding Offline Files and Folder Redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect is not Redirected into Homedrive

Hi everybody.
We're experiencing issues with the intire "protect" folder in Windows 7 x64
Overview:
AppData Roaming --> Folder Redirection into Homedirectory is enabled by GPO
Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Windows Server 2012 R2
The intire Folder AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ is not redirecting into the useres Homedrive, which is causing errors - for example in Google Chrome (User can save passwords and cookies, but their lost after every new login)
Basicly our users keep losing all their DPAPI keys.
Our assumption is, that DPAPI works with %userprofile% which is linked to C:\Users\[Username] and addes the AppData Roaming part to the environment variable instead of using %appdata% pointing to the users homedrive...
New keys are generated locally instead of in redirected place.
We've already startet working with credential roaming (in Active Directory) - but we find it dangerouse since we're a school, inwich teacher and students change their workplace alot - and we must store all passwords etc. for 6 years and longer (its
dumb i know). If a new DPAPI file is generated for every PC and every new user password etc. the cute 750 Byte which one of those files approx. has, isnt that cute anymore. We dont want our AD to grow that bad. We then also found a Hotfix - this
doesnt solve our Problem either since most Programs we use dont mark their BLOB as used - so we cant use the Filter not to roam unused keys....
So, thats why we're looking for a solution inwich, as everyone would expect, really the intire Appdata\roaming is redirected, without any exceptions.

Hi,
I am currently working on the environment.
Besides, would you might collect the gpresult.log and then upload here for further investigation?

Follow the guide here to upload the log files:

The preference files are created when you successfully launch Photoshop, they are not created by the installation process. Since you have not done that yet, you do not have these files.
You cannot simply backup the files in the application and restore them to a new computer. You have to run the installer, part of the installation process will lock the application to that specific computer, the files will not work on another computer. You can download the installation files from Adobe.com and install from there.

Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder before installing the new copy? If not then do so and delete the new application also.

New versions of Flash have a panel installed on your system for control of settings.
In Windows XP, Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click on each tab and change the "Ask..." setting. Most likely your prompts are coming from the "Storage" tab. Using any of the "Block..." settings may make Flash inoperative on some sites.

In Windows 8.1, why does Thunderbird have profiles in username\appdata\local and in username\appdata\roaming?

I searched online to find out how to find my address book and found an article that said to look in Users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird. I did not find it there, so I did more searching and found it in Users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird. Do I need the Users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird directory, or is It a leftover from a previous version of Thunderbird? I would like to delete it if I don't need it.

Background info:
When Thunderbird program is installed it puts it here:
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
or if using windows 64bit, it will be here:
* C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
when you run Thunderbird, it will create a default profile and this is where all your mail accounts, address books, filters, passwords etc are stored. Use for backup purposes.
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
Windows also creates some cache folders and files, which is stored here:
* C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Thunderbird
These files and folders do not contain any emails etc and are not required for backup purposes.
You can clear the cache from Thunderbird.
Tools > clear Recent history.
Windows uses the AppData\Local.
