Hi, can someone tell me how to turn on my cookies please. Since installing
SP2, I'm unable to look at some web pages and my PC's telling me I have to
enable cookies. The problem is, the radio buttons that were in Internet
Options: Security, have disapeared. There were two, just below the Active X
section. Were they taken off by SP2, if so, how can I enable my cookies?
There has been no other tweaking taking place, just that blessed SP2

In IE: Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Advanced>Allow. But, IMHO, a
better way is to leave them blocked, but add the domains you want to
visit under the Sites button.

Thanks Bruce, I'll try that, but can you please confirm, are the radio
buttons meant to be gone, or am I just a bit unlucky with this particular
clitch? Btw, I appreciate your help and will post back to let you know if I
win through. Thanks again.

Hi Bruce, just to let you know, my PC seems to like the workaround you have
advised. I still have no idea where those radio buttons went, but everything
is working fine and so I'll quit while I'm ahead. Besides, we can't fix it,
it can't be broken! Right?

Kind regards and many thanks again.

This is just to advise, I have got to the bottom of this problem. IE5 has a
Cookies Enable radio button. IE6 doesn't. So if you get a message saying
'enable cookies', check to see which version your running, as it will save
you many hours of wasted time.
