So the cookies are not in the Temporary Internet folder (found in Windows directory). The only cookies files/folders I have are in: Mozilla, Application Data folder (looks like it's associated with Netscape), Spybot, and Netscape, and of course, that Cookies folder in the Windows directory. I'm using Windows 98; so how do I find a file comparable to the cookies file in Netscape? ... Harold And speaking of... What's the purpose of that Application Data folder? I find tidbits of many programs I have installed in Program Files there. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
