Local shared objects can be moved to a new computer?

We are waiting for the arrival of our new computer. My 8 year old son is concerned that when he plays his favorite Flash games on the new computer, the games can't remember his previous note or level in the game.

I understand that this information is usually stored in local shared objects. So my question:

The LSO on our existing [Windows XP] can be moved to our new computer [Windows 7]? If so, I store it in the same location in Windows 7 as they are saved in Windows XP?

Thanks for your advice.

I think that these data are stored in one of the following locations (Windows XP):

C:\Documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache

and/or

C:\Documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player

Easier just to, type the full path for these two records would be to use the environment variable % APPDATA %. you would type the following in the address bar of Windows Explorer:

%AppData%\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache

and/or

%AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player

Now in Windows 7, they are in a slightly different place:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache

and/or

C:\Users\[username]AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player

that would be by using the environment variable:

%AppData%\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache

and/or

%AppData%\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player

What I would do, it is to copy all of the contents of two folders from XP to 7, before installing Flash Player on the new machine.

Let us know if it worked.
