In additon to this comment -- I would like for someone at Microsoft to consider a few things. ONE, it is my computer i should decide what goes on it and the freindly concept of a cookie is a misconception. These things broadcast all kind of information back to their installers. Whoever thought this scheme up should be shot (or at least fired). We now have sites sending and reqiring cookies - I should be able to decide that - not the sites - not MicroSoft. Yes, I know I can turn them off, or prompt or whatever. I can even install cookie walls. The fact remains they should HAVE NEVER been implemented in the first place. So, some solutions - one let me set an expiration time in the cookie (you know kinda lke TOUCH in the old DOS). 2) Let me have a cookie interpeter - a disassembler so I can actually see what the site that installed it is trying to scour out of my computer and then let me decide if I want it there. 3) authenication certificates 4) no personal info going back to the requester other than user name, and maybe a few other key pieces. I mean I went onto PAYPAL today and in that one short session 14 cookies were installed. High time we get control over these issues. I would love to correspond about this and other silly things that are included in windows. So anyone wishing to discuss - email me at (e-mail address removed). This month alone I have had 3 sites shut down for terms violations all because of cookies...bd

Microsoft didn't invent cookies. Or web browsers, come to think of it.
I don't like 'em either, but I don't think about them much. I personally
have my browser set to prompt me for all cookies and I deny 99% of them.
Note - posting your valid e-mail address in a newsgroup post, or in your
news account settings, is a surefire way to get spam and SWEN and other
viruses sent to you....see http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm for help
in the future, but note that now that your address is out there, there's not
much you can do other than changing your address.
