Slow down guys. Temporary internet Files are not where cookies are stored. It is not comparable to the cookies folder in Netscape. Those folders in temp internet files are sort of there and sort of not there. Things you see inside them may or may not actually reside there. Don't make those folders read only. There is a cookie directory in windows, under your identity if you are running WinXP. Just do a search for cookies if you are not.

I just learned from you that the "Temporary Internet Files" folder in the Windows directory is what is comparable to the "Cookies" file in Netscape. The same trick might work since after clearing out the folder, and then visiting those important sites, there is still the option of putting that folder in "Read Only" mode. It's worth a try (correct me if ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
