Windows Cookie folder usage

[knarey]

'Ello,

For some reason IE6 has started using a 'cookies' folder in a 'temp'
folder within 'Local Settings' instead of the <user>/cookies folder.
That means that the cookies in the <user>/cookies folder are now
stranded ie are not being pointed to from the TIF viewer.
Obviously it makes no sense to copy and paste cookies into other
referenced cookie folders as they need to pointed to by the TIF.

If anyone knows why this happens or can shed light on how to re-hook up
my <user>/cookies cookies (all old ones that I always need) then I'd be
eternally grateful.

Kind regards

Kevin

Hi

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, which really is a
must when asking for help in the newsgroups, but, try the following and see
if it helps:

First, clear all your Temporary Files, including Cookies.

Cookies or Cache folder corrupted -

If one folder is corrupt the chances are the other is or
will be. So export your cookies, and nuke both folders.
Cookies won't enable - Browser not set to accept Cookies, but it is
