:oops: I found it (well hidden) on the adobe web site.

Actually, I am inclined to believe 'Hackling'. I was very surprised as well when Pandora knew me after I had changed the hard drive in my machine! As I am sure you know it is not at all impossible to get hardware information about a machine that's logging onto a server. Just takes a bit longer to code than a normal login, that's all. There is usually a good reason why it's done and I am not sure why the security at Pandora would need to be higher than average. One thing speaking against this: I did actually copy SOME but not all data off my old hard drive (which had been damaged and would no longer boot). I can't rememer anymore, but I think I copied the 'My documents' folder because a lot of important XP info (idiotically) gets stored there. In addition - Flash can set cookies - they are not deleted at the same time as other cookies - not sure where they are stored. The way to flush them is through the flash console UI. So a flash cookie could be the explanation. Hackling may have copied something over from his old installation, or re-installed something which he thought was insignificant. BTW ---- LOOKING FOR FLASH 8!! DO YOU KNOW WHERE i CAN FIND IT??
