Cookies

[Guest]

when I log onto a site I ask to save the logon data.
as long as I dont shutdown I can relog on without having to enter logon name
and password, I check the box to remember it.
When I shutdown all the cookies with this data seem to disappear as I have
to put in my access numner and password in again
Frustrated Doug
is there any way to delete IE 6 and reinstall it.

Things aren't that desparate. You don't have to re-install IE..
Check your Internet Settings

Tools\Internet Options... go to the Advanced tab

Scroll down the list... you will see an Item 'Empty Temporary Internet Files
folder when browser is closed' Un-check this..( I may be wrong on this
point.. Tempory Internet Files may not include your cookies?.. I had a
look.. yep on the General tab the delete cookies button asks if you want to
delete your cookies from the Temporary Internet Files folder.)


Also if you have Norton Anti-virus there are settings there for the
treatment of your cookies. I imagine other anti-virus software will have
similar options. I know that the Norton Clean Sweap and Internet Clean-up
utilities clear your cookies folder.

As a general point about security and usability try to keep your security
level when surfing the net. For trusted sites add them to your Trusted Zone.
It is very easy to change the security settings... Click on the security
icon on the status bar.. this will display the Internet Zones dialog. You
can make fine tuning adjustments there and then while you are at a site.

This setting does not affect cookies. Although displayed as if they were
in the TIF, Cookies are actually stored in their own Cookies folder.
