the cookies on the site are stored in the c:\windows\cookies folder.

since shared objects are analogous to cookies, where are shared objects stored.

In which folder can i view the shared objects that flash stores?

depends on your OS

but basically it goes under your profile’s Application Data folder in Macromedia/Flash Player in a folder with the name of the host that set it, for example  
Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com  
For local use, it goes in /localhost

for a ful path, under XP, my Flash Player folder is:  
C:\Documents and Settings\senocular\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\
