Well, you can go into the flash settings (right click on a flash object) and turn them off... For those who don't know what he's talking about this site http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/pie.htm http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/pie.htm has a fairly straight forward writeup. And although they are a bit obscure, they are basically cookies. Turning off flash, or using noscript will take care of them.

Does that really turn them off? I have mine turned off, and I still had these files in my directory.

  You have flash turned off and it's still dropping files in your #SharedObjects directory?

    no: right-click on the flash movie, select "settings," then set "local storage" (third icon from the left on my setup) to "zero."

      update: with the control in flash apparently set to off, flash still creates directories and saves a file. This is some bad mojo.
