In IETools>Internet Options>Privacy>Sites there are no sites at all. But I
just read in some discussion group the following reference to my problem:
- IE's "Block ALL Cookies" doesn't work more than about 80% of the time
Isn't this strange? If you have WinXP SP2 + latest IE you probably can test
it right away. Delete all cookies either through your browser or manually.
Set Privacy setting to the maximum (Block all cookies), close and re-open IE
(I even restarted Windows to be 100% sure), and then open
www.cnn.com or
www.msn.com or anything else. If you have you windows browser open with
"cookies" folder, you will see how cookies appear there. I tested in several
WinXP + SP2 computers.
