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

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

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?

Because is an invasion of privacy.

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.

I suppose you do.

I don't know if it's true, however I've read that all of the email that has
been sent or received and files and documents you accessed are logged in the
index.dat file as well.

Another problem is when the index.dat file becomes very large it may cause
reduced network performance. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322916

I'm in Australia and you are still over 12 hours ahead of me!

Maybe everyone else is wrong! Is your name Bush?

Where is the folder location of Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16609?

We are using Vista Home Basic Dell systems.

Trend Micro Internet Security found cookie threats in Internet Explorer
Cache location. How can I find this folder?

Thank you

What is a "cookie threat"?

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



The "cookies" folder cannot be accessed.
This is not a regular system folder.

Not according to your headers. Did you bother resetting the time zone of
your computer?

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

Just open it in a text editor and look for yourself to see what is
recorded.

That article does not pertain to Vista so not sure why a link has been
posted in Vista NG. It is not a problem in other versions of Windows
providing that IE is set up properly...the large default cache size is
the issue.
