How to reactivate/move cookies from previous/other installation?

[Peter Hanke]

I backuped/saved all the cookies from the cookies folder from an old Win2000 installation.

Then I re-installed Win2000 (because of other reasons) and copied the old
cookies files back to the cookies folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies

However, they are NOT recognized by the Internet Explorer. Why?

I assume they must be indexed in the index.dat in the cookies folder. How can I do this?

The same occurs under WinXP.

Is there something like an "import cookies" function for the InternetExplorer (6.0)?

Yes, yes he was... However he was also rather observant and generally pretty
accurate. <g> I dunno, maybe it was the drugs that helped him?

Yes there is. Click on the File menu and navigate to 'Import and
Export'. That should be what you are loking for.
