On XP, cookies were in a folder in C:\Documents and Settings\userid\ and
you could look at them whenever you wanted.

Where are they in Vista?

Start - in the search box, type Shell:cookies

Is there anything special that needs to be done with permissions on this?
When logged in as myself I cannot view anything, especially when trying to
look at AppData, Cookies, etc. Its very frustrating. This is the first
Vista box on our domain and I am the test dummy. I have added my login as an
administrator and have no luck still.

I've had similar problems. I couldn't open any of Documents, My Pictures,
My..., cookies, etc. When I tried to open the files I was told access was
denied. I had to go under C:\User\username\cookies for example. The folder
would have an arrow on the icon like XP used to use for links. I right
clicked the folder and went to Share. I then told Vista I wanted to change
the sharing settings. I usually had to delete "everyone" in the next box.
Click Share to close box. I always got an error message. Ignore it. Repeat
the process and chose "Stop sharing this folder" under Share. After that I
was able to open the folder. Don't ask me why this helped, but I hope it at
least puts you on the correct track.

Make sure the folders don't have the link arrow on them. I see a cookie
folder when I open start under my user name. If you click on the folder to
open it , it will deny you access. However, if you trace the link to it's
actual location listed in the other replies (User,user name, app data,
roaming, microsoft, windows, cookies) you should be able to open and explore
it.
