[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1641783, member: 76746"] Hi Bobtomay Thank You for taking the time to reply with good suggestions. Stickies is fixed thanks to members here giving me good ideas. I ended up telling the access list in file information for the plist & Stickies database that "Everyone" can read & write. Beats me how this worked because each user profile already had access to its own Stickies database and plist. Adobe Flash & Safari remain troublesome. Quick Recap- Flash cannot clear stored data (Error message attached) Safari will not clear stored data nor save any preference changes These happen in the two non-administrator accounts only. The administrator account, both work fine. Permissions Repair with Disk Utility and Onyx didn't help with the Safari problems or Adobe Flash. I next tried the Everyone trick I did for Stickies. No Luck. So, I tried removing Safari plist. Still no luck Next, I used the uninstaller to delete Adobe Flash and manually removed Macromedia. I downloaded Flash & reinstalled. No luck. I've attached a screen shot of the error message I get when I try to clear stored data from Flash. For Safari, the problems also remain. I can not change the home page nor can I clear stored website data when going to Preferences-Privacy. It clears and comes right back. Oddly, teo of the stored sites are web pages I looked at before the problem started, but not since. For this example- Home page is apple.com. The stored sites that keep returning are 2 from Apple, 3 from Google and MrBike, Vintage CCM. 9MrBike & CCM are the ones mentioned above) I went to Library/Safari/Local Storage to see if access was allowed by this user profile. It's OK. The two non-administrator accounts (user profiles) have the same problem. The administrator account has no problems with Safari nor Adobe Flash. I am wondering if there is a file in the administrator account that is somehow over-riding permissions for the two user accounts for adobe Flash and Safari? [/QUOTE]
