Exactly my point, Scott. Two days ago I was advised to update from 11.9.900 to 12.0.0.43. And yesterday Adobe announces an update to that update, i.e. 12.0.0.44. As Frank O'Connor says, this software is getting worse and worse and more insecure with each (unplanned) update. Adobe should be ashamed of their software team and their ubiquitous software. Yesterday I mentioned the "Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager" available at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html, and was under the impression that there is no local control panel for the Flash Player. I was wrong - there is such a beast on your PC. On the Mac it is found in the "Other" panel of System Prefs. One problem: the local Flash Manager is not as comprehensive as the one found at the above link. It does not show a list the cookies or sites requesting the cookies, for example. cheers rickw -- ------------------------------------ Rick Welykochy || Vitendo Consulting 27.
