The "cookies" folder cannot be accessed.
This is not a regular system folder.
baloney! go to folder options and select show hidden files.
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookie s

C:\Users\username\Cookies\Low appears to be a separate location.
Both can be directly accessed. I do so daily with a batch file that
deletes only selected cookies.


Why? I block all cookies by default, and make an exception as and when I
need to. IE makes that really easy, with the icon in the status bar.

Agreed, IE does make it easy.

I like to play with batch files and I like the feeling of controlling
cookies with my own batch file.

I block most but not all cookies because there are a few sites, for example
My Yahoo, where I would need to re-enter my ID and password if I blocked
the cookie.

I do use IE to block all 3rd party cookies.

What is a "cookie threat"?

Cookies are located in C:\Users\username\Cookies\Low

We found that cookie folder, but this has nothing to do with Internet
Explorer.


***Of course it does.

I just counted my cookies. I seem to have nearly one hundred sites in my
exceptions list. I'm surprised how many.

No. As I said in another newsgroup, your time zone doesn't matter.
Time is reported in each of our newsreaders in our local time.

Your clock is set wrong.

Interesting, how did they get there if you didn't add them?
FWIW I have no sites in my exceptions list.

By the way, I periodically delete the index.dat file from a command prompt.

No, they are all in the exceptions list because I added them. I am just
surpised how many sites and forums I seem have added exceptions for.

The only cookies I have are cookies I want, as I have added the exceptions
for them.

By the way, I periodically delete the index.dat file from a command
prompt.

Why?

Hi, Anthony.

FIX YOUR CLOCK!!!

From this latest post of yours:
Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:33:54 -0800

That says you posted it TOMORROW from the -0800 Time Zone. That's Pacific
Time, US and Canada. In other words, Redmond, Washington Time; Microsoft
Corporation Time. I suspect that you - like many others - have not set the
Time Zone correctly since you installed Vista.

I'm in Texas, Central Time Zone, GMT -0600. It's now 9:00 PM CDT on March
21. You posted this at 11:33 AM on March 22 - about a full day ahead of the
rest of the world.

FIX YOUR CLOCK!!!

I have every webpage that I go to recorded on my Google Web History, so I
suppose I have a different attitude to what is important to be kept private.
