    Cool Where is flash data stored?

    Hi Folks,
    When you watch a flash video, say from YouTube, it might take time to download first time, if your link is slow, but then you can watch it at normal speed a second time, so where is it stored in Windows?
    I've looked all over the Temp internet files but can't find anything.
    Regards,

    It's there. You just are not finding (as it may be hidden) or seeing it as it may not be obvious by the name.

    If you go to System Properties > Advanced and click on Environment Variables, you will see your Temp and TMP folder locations. They are typically on c:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\Temp. This may be hard to see as you have to drag the column bar over, then the scroll bar back to see the full path.

    You may not be able to see the Local Settings folder if you have "Do not show hidden files and folders" set in Folder Options - the default setting.

    Just to add: if your intent is to download and save the video on your computer here is a tool:

    Download Embedded Flash Video- the most popular way to download Embedded Flash video
