Cookies folder

[George V]

There is no cookies folder on my XP professional with SP3. At one time it
was in system 32/config/systemprofile/Cookies, but its gone now and search
shows no such folder. What happened ?

Hello George,

The standard default location for cookies is at
C:\Documents and Settings\<User-Login>\Cookies

where <User-Login> is /your/ login user-account-name

Use My Computer (a.k.a., Windows Explorer) to look at folder(s)

 

[George V]

looked under documents and settings. files there were administrator, all
users and default user. No cookie files in any of these. I also have files
set to show all hidden folders. ?

Is there somewhere in Microsoft I can go and download a folder for Cookies ?

George - Cookies folder is a hidden/Proteced OS folder - in View - Folder
Options both "show hidden files and folders" must be CHECKED and "Hide
protected OS files..." UNCHECKED.

found it, had to uncheck hide protected system files.
