    Amazing!! I always took flash as a "nice guy". My guess it's the Adobe part that is not so nice!! Anyone know if flash was like this under Macromedia?

    Yes Adobe basically just changed the name and 'made to fit' the rest.

    Thanks for the great tips. If CCleaner indeed does clean them out, I should be good though....
