In my previous article, i wrote about HTTP Cookies and how you can get a list of cookies saved by your browser. While, the steps mentioned in the article, can get you the cookies, but it doesn’t show the cookies created by Flash Components. Its impor The flash cookie files are saved with .sol extension, and their content is stored in binary format, and thus regular text editor/viewer cannot display them.

FlashCookiesView is a small utility that displays the list of cookie files created by Flash component (Local Shared Object) in your Web browser. For each cookie file, the lower pane of FlashCookiesView displays the content of the file in readable format or as Hex dump. You can also select one or more cookie files, and then copy them to the clipboard, save them to text/html/xml file or delete them.

On Windows XP, the flash cookies are stored under C:\Documents and Settings\[ProfileName]\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[RandomName]\[Website Path].

On Windows 7/Windows Vista, the flash cookies are stored under C:\Users\[ProfileName]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[RandomName]\[Website Path].

With FlashCookiesView you do not need to install anything, simply download the file and copy them in a local folder. Next, you can initiate the program by double clicking on FlashCookiesView.exe.

You can download FlashCookiesView from here.
