The SOL file extension is used by Adobe’s Flash Player to store information locally in order to save user preferences and settings. Also known as a Flash Local Shared Object File, these files are used for various tasks within Adobe Flash applications, such as tracking cookies and saving game progress.
The SOL file is an XML-based file that stores user data with a format SWFObject. It exists as a means of providing users with a way to save their progress across sessions within the Adobe Flash interface. Information stored in these files can include preferences, display settings, score ranges, asset locations, and other miscellaneous data related to an application.
Functionalities
The purpose of a SOL file is to save user preferences in a local environment so that those preferences will be retrieved everytime the user returns. This means that each website or application can customize the users experience as they progress or even after the browser has been closed and reopened. For example, if you were using a game that incorporated parts of Shockwave flash, your score record would be stored in the SOL file so it can be viewed again when you open up the application.
File Extension
The extension for an SOL file is .SOL. Often times these type of extensions are referred to as Adobe Shared Object File that consist of a group of websites and applications. Other group include .AIR, .ALX, .ASHX, .AXD, .BLP, .CFG, .DAT, .HLP, and more.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SOL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SOL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SOL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SOL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SOL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SOL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SOL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SOL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SOL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SOL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
