    In case you didn't already know: The popular CCleaner program deletes local flash files including all savegames.

    The folder to exclude is: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[random number]\localhost 
    (that's for Win7/Vista, don't know about XP, should be roughly the same). If you put that folder on the exception list in CCleaner, you should be fine.

    Thanks for the warning. I use CCleaner and I intend to buy VVVVVV soon. I would be devastated if my save file was deleted.

    Aww man... I read this directly after running CCleaner. My save is now gone. Oh well... I won't mind playing through this again, amazing game. Thanks for the warning, anyways.

    It's actually mentioned in the Readme-File, but not many people read those these days. However, it occured to me that it's probably wiser to just exclude the "localhost" folder and not the whole "#shared" folder.
