what is your wine set to simulate? because win98, win2k, and winxp all store their user settings in different places i believe.

i think win98 puts them by default in /windows/profiles/USER/.... whereas winxp puts them by default in /Documents and Settings/USER/....

this probably isn't the problem, but also check permissions, make sure the settings directories are writable.

another thought: maybe you should try running the installer for the flash plugin (even though you are using the standalone player) -- perhaps it will set up all the needed registry entries and/or directory structures?

As far as I can see nothing changes. All that is in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Macromedia/FlashPlayer entry is a list of recent files.

I tried a few other Macromedia entries in the registry and saw nothing
plausible.

It looks like Flash 8 saves LSO's to a sub-directory called
"#SharedObjects", so I created:
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/(user)/Application
Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects

but it made no difference. (and anyway that felt like barking up the
wrong tree as the real problem is that it doesn't remember my settings
change; e.g. it also doesn't remember privacy changes).

Does anyone know where else the Windows Flash Player might be writing
settings to?
