Here's the path I finally found after looking around all over the disk:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jan Whitaker\Application 
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys
It wasn't in the other Documents and Settings subdirs nor in the Program Files.

There is a settings file in there you can open with a text editor. I 
have no clue what it means, but its date is today, so it obviously 
updates itself at some stage frequently.

Are you saying this folder should be set to read only?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
