Hey folk
Did anybody knows if i could program somethink witch cleans up automaticly my local settings after a certain days? Or are this files fundamental, and i can only delete them if i delete a program?
My local settings ( 87 gb ) are definitly an overkill…
Greets, Billigflüge

w00t!

It’s the and difference that you’re referring! :D

Actually I knew about this in which different OS treating keys differently, but the thing I wasn’t clear about was “\n” and “\r”.

Before you explained in the above, to me, “\n” was like a newline kind of “command” to me, which I did not relate at all to . :P

Can I assume the below is correct then?
\r ==
\n ==

haha
>> Most of us usually wrote “\n” when we wrote AS code

No idea why I typed “wrote” when I was thinking “write”. Time to sleep, may be?

Yea, that was a classic example of ‘trying to solve the wrong problem’ case.

>>’Flash interprets in external text sources as “\r\n” ‘

You got me wrong there. Its not Flash which interprets it differently. May be I should’ve clarified in detail.

Internally, Flash always represents newlines as “\r”. Most of us usually wrote “\n” when we wrote AS code, but since “\r” and “\n” are handle like synonyms in the flash player, we scarcely ever find a problem.
But each OS has a different way of handling newLine characters; Unix flavors ( and Mac OSX) represent newline as “\n”. Where as MacOS classic (9 and below) handled newLine as “\r”. When it comes to Windows, its represented as “\r\n”.

Now, since the XML you are trying to load is on a Windows machine, those enters that you hit were saved as “\r\n”.

And then when it comes inside a Flash player ( which takes \r and \n as two different entities, it shows them as two lines.

So finding “\r” and removing them off – or – finding “\r\n” and replacing with “\n” (or
\r”) will mean that we help the flash player to treat the textfile the same way, in windows and mac and unix.

You get it now? :)

if its not those files in ur home directory, it must be the unpacked installer payload sitting somewhere on ur harddrive. When you install CS3 applications, it will first prompt you to select a location to save the extracted payload. Those files must be still left out after installation.
Search for a folder called “Adobe CS3″ in ur machine, and that should be it.

Yep when you uninstall CS3 it still leaves many files behind. Adding on to Arul’s comments, sometimes the files even stays on in the program files folder.
What I did was that I did a search of the whole harddisk for anything called Adobe and wiped them out.

Thanks for the advice Arul!
Unfortunately though, those 2 folders dint have much data that I can clear. Guess I’ll look along the line of the Documents and Settings and see what else I can find. :P
