Two Settings Manager panels with different settings???

[S.Lundin]

Hello,

When I rt-clk in a flash video and choose settings I see different selections chosen that when I go to the Adobe web site Settings Manager.  Not just different tabs as in local vs global but diffent choices for the identical options.

Window 7 SP1 all updates as of 04/15/2014

Your Flash Version	13.0.0.182
Your browser name	Google Chrome
Your Operating System (OS)	Windows (Windows 7)

I also tried FireFox  28.0 and IE 11 and have same behavior.

Which is the one that will be used by my system?

Is there a local settings file that may be corrupt?

Thank You,

Steve

Here's why:

The "Global Settings Manager" (in your Control Panel) manages privacy and storage settings for ALL of them,

but EACH has it's own Settings Manager for things like "by site" storage, Cam & Mic access, hardware acceleration:

Thanks Mike.

This is still a little confusing.  I wasn't clear enough.  The two panels I am referring to are the same and look like your second or EACH set.  One is from the Adobe web site, "Settings Manager" not my control panls. So I can invoke three different controls for my Flash settings.

1. right click in a Flash object while using a browser.

2. access: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html#117118

3. control panel Flash Player (32bit)

I thought the process worked like this.  The control panel provides the starting settings for any browser Flash object and on a per use basis of some sort we can change the browser Flash settings on a per use and per site basis.  If we don't then the control panel rules are in effect.

I will consider the web site (2) to be a malfuntioning site and hope it does not do anything despite what it says.

The online settings manager is a working manager, and it does basically what the settings manager (not the Control Panel one) does.

The Control Panel "Global" Settings Manager handles settings that apply to ALL installed versions of Flash Player. If you make a privacy or storage setting there, it affects IE, Firefox AND Chrome. The one accessible froma right click (or online) ONLY affects the one you're currently using. If you make changes in Firefox, they won't have any effect on IE.
