macromedia players flash : Flash Player 8 Security & User Profiles

Is there a way to set flash player 8 security in one area that will override
all other user profile settings? Currently we change the settings under
"admin", and then whenever any "users" log in they too are prompted with
security messages. The problem here is that we are in a k-12 educational
setting and we cannot have students attempt to set their own security as this
will create an abundance of support. The applications that are causing this
issue is a piece of science software that is running off of a CD.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I am going to try this on Friday. It looks like, for
a local account, the Flash Player settings are saved in a file called
settings.sol that is stored in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys . That
means for your domain users this would be in their profile on the server (I am
using roaming profiles, if you are using mandatory profiles it would be
similar) at ProfileLocation\%Username%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys. I am going to set my local
Flash Player settings up on my admin machine the way I think they should work
and then copy the necessary files and folders to the profiles of the students.
It might require so tweaking with the file permissions. I will post more when
I have tried it.

It works. FOSS sent me two files they had constructed according to the white
paper and I had to lay them in System32\Macromed\Flash folder on every machine.
Contact me if you need more information or you want me to forward the files
and directions to you. kferraro@cps.k12.in.us
