Internet Explorer - Cookies

[Nate Carruthers]

Hi,

My Internet Explorer Temporary Internet file settings currently allow
31,594MB of this content which is nearly half of my hard drive. However,
some important cookies I need keep getting erased - I checked the folder and
there is about 630MB of data which is well below this number. Is there
anything I can do to keep these cookies from being erased or is it because
the cookie is expiring quickly - 1 day in one case? Thank you very much for
your help!

50 MB is enough and 100 should be a maximum. More than that and it will
slow IE down while it looks to see if the file is in cache.

I appreciate the feedback. I am having problem with a certain website where
I go to certain links but when I go back to the website a few days later the
links I previously visited show up as being new. This happens every time.
It seems like the cookies are expiring. Does this sound like a reasonable
explanation or do you think it is something else? Thanks again!

Delete Temporary Internet files from IE and set cache to 50 MB. When it's
that large it doesn't work properly. Deleting the Files from IE will not
delete the Cookies.
