Chrome Cookies location change, i think

Posted Aug 4, 2012 3:23 pm

I Found out that certain games of mine were not available in the usual place (AppData/Roaming/..........etc) so i just wanted to share this find with those who use google chrome as their main browser. So I found the .sol files at:

C:\Users\"yournamehere\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects\"random numbers"\chat.kongregate.com\gamez\

So just don't break your head for 5 mins like I did thinking the files vanished.

Edit: This applies to Chrome v21 and above. To see your chrome version click on the "wrench" icon on top right corner of chrome and then press "g" or click "About Google Chrome".

easier to just  search for ".sol" that has been modified within the last day, ordered by time. You'll find the correct sol file within 10 seconds and you don't have to dig around

Yeah that is easy, but sometimes my search query shows no results unless i specify the full name of the ".sol" which usually we wouldn't know for a new game. Also some ppl may not be able to use their search effectively,  so just thought i shared this.

try searching for *.sol then and have "search hidden files and folders," "search subfolders," and "search system folders" checked.

Oh btw, it also looks like some games in chrome are stored in a different .sol file name and sometimes chrome stores the file in 1 level(folder) deeper . So if you want to play it on some other browser then just put it in the appropriate folder and rename it.
For Example: Dibbles 3:Desert Despair is saved as:

Chrome: 0015\1652\live\Dibbles_3_kong_secure.swf\dibbl#\es3_save_armor_sharedobject.sol
Firefox and others: 0015\1652\live\Dibbles_3_kong_secure.swf\dibbles3_save_armor_sharedobject.sol
