Location of mms.cfg on Google Chrome: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\<Profile>\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\System\mms.cfg

Some more observations, as result from testing on my Vista SP2 32-bit laptop: 1. The mms.cfg method with LATEST Flash 32.0.0.465 (unmodified) will work ONLY when that file is located in its designated location (for me it's "C:\Windows\system32\macromed\Flash\") and it will ONLY be observed/honoured by the ActiveX and NPAPI varieties... My file currently reads: DisableAnalytics=1 SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0 AutoUpdateDisable=1 EOLUninstallDisable=1 EnableAllowList=1[ignored] AllowListRootMovieOnly=1 AllowListUrlPattern=file:* AllowListUrlPattern=https://wwwimages.adobe.com/ AllowListUrlPattern=https://helpx.adobe.com/ AllowListUrlPattern=*://chat.kongregate.com/ AllowListUrlPattern=*://www.screamingstatue.com/ with SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0 AutoUpdateDisable=1 probably being redundant now... The NPAPI dll will read mms.cfg whether it's properly installed (in "%windir%\system32\macromed\Flash\") or from another "portable" location; the PPAPI dll, however, will NOT read mms.cfg no matter if it's properly installed (for Chromium browsers that don't bundle Flash) or itself part of Google Chrome (inside the appdir or userdatadir). What was somewhat not expected by me is the fact a patched NPAPI dll (e.g. "NPSWF32_32_0_0_465.dll"), regardless of location, will STILL observe mms.cfg ; so, if you have patched the NPAPI dll to remove the killswitch/timebomb, for it to work on ALL sites you'll have to rename/remove/delete your customised mms.cfg file! ["%SystemDrive%\Users\<username>\AppData\Local" = "%localappdata%" ] Under Vista SP2 32-bit [No ExtKernel], the highest version of Google Chrome that can launch is the first build of the 51 branch, v51.0.2679.0 (a hard-to-find release, it was shared long time ago by a fellow MSFN member in the Vista subforums...); I have it set up as a portable installation in the PAF format, so the folder hierarchy is G:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.exe [=launcher] G:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe [=main .exe] G:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\51.0.2679.0\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll [=originally bundled PPAPI Flash, v21.0.0.182] G:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\Data\profile\PepperFlash\32.0.0.465\pepflashplayer.dll [=manually updated PPAPI Flash, located inside User Data dir, aka "profile"] With the last PPAPI v32.0.0.465 in place as detailed, Chrome 51 ignores the built-in old 21 version (which, obviously, does not contain a timebomb) and loads v32; but the DLL does not read mms.cfg file (if present), so I always get the following outcome: For latest PPAPI Flash to work inside Google Chrome (tested versions 49/50/51), I have to use a patched DLL: FTR:

@Tripredacus They recently added a "more options" link in the lower-right corner of that Supernova thing. You click that and a link to launch the game in Flash player shows up. If you have Flash set as click-to-activate, the page will reload after activating Flash, then you have to repeat this before it actually launches. Try it on the game Multitask 2, it worked yesterday. Unfortunately, none of the browsers on my PC can even reach that Supernova thing, so i don't get a "more options" link to click... just a blank frame and a bunch of errors in the console. I asked one of their devs to check with PM27 (and advertised MSFN a tiny bit ) so they can fix the launcher for us, no clue if they did anything though.

Could I Have My Name Changed To VistaEX? Please

Some sites are invoking Flash content with an emulator. I don't know about Supernova, but Ruffle is laggy and only works on Chrome. Maybe it would be possible to write a user script for such sites to invoke the real Flash Player on user's system, kinda like how ViewTube can play videos on some sites using a browser plugin. Seems these emerging Flash emulators are just adding to infinite list of Chrome exclusive crap. Nice, didn't think of that. I set mine to year 2060 a while back, doubt I'll care by then. If I wanted to be thorough, I'd just NOP that block out and move the rest of the code up, so it would look like the check was never there and it would save few processor cycles.

I use Open-Shell with a taskbar texture found in the last post of this topic on Classic Shell forum. In the settings on the Taskbar tab, besides setting Taskbar texture and pointing it to downloaded image, Vertical stretching must be set to Tile, otherwise, the border is missing. Obviously, Customize taskbar must be enabled for settings here to work and you'll probably want to tweak Taskbar look and Taskbar opacity as well.

I don't have any Microsoft Internet games on my Windows XP system to examine. What are they and is this checkers program downloadable?

Probably not... except if hardcoding a full path to a specific profile in the commandline. But mixing up those default folders is probably a very bad idea. 1) What I'm doing with any Mozilla browsers if possible, is to use portable versions, with profiles inside program folder. 2) If not portable, am using the Profile Manager, to juggle multiple profile folders inside the same settings folder. So far I just let it ask me at every startup which of the profiles shall be used, but it has preselected the "last used" profile, and occasionally I click blindly too quickly, after having used a different browser version last time, and oops... ;-) Luckily no fatal disaster yet, my non-portable browsers seem all too old anyway. 3) A safe way, after having created multiple profiles with Profile Manager, is to hardcode a specific profile subfolder in the commandline for the browser start. 4) Another tricky way roytam1 has included in his special fx36 fork (firefox 3.6 with TLS1.2): the program folder contains a bat-file with a hardcoded path to profile folder in this same (program) folder. If starting the browser with this bat-file, it's like being portable :-) .
