yes you can delete them Adam, but not permananently.
reboot and go back to the cookie folder. there they
are again. they have restored by the index.dat file.
quite an architecture huh? and you cannot delete the
index.dat file (for the 3rd time) without leaving
windows:
Error deleting file
Cannot delete index: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
the disk is not full. heehheee. the file is in permanent use
by windows.
