1. Here's a simple TestCookie.asp page that may show those cookies being
shared on a Win2K SP4 , IE 6 (latest patch as of Apr 23 / 04).
What the page does is create a FistAccessTimestamp cookie as well as a
ClickCount cookie. IF the cookies are shared between 2 browsers
then the FistAccessTimestamp are the same on both browsers and as you click
the button in the browsers, the ClickCount cookie will
also be shared.
2. How to repro is a little tricky.
a) create a short cut to some html page on your machine (eg. create foo.html
on c:\ , then create a shortcut to it)
b) launch IE via the shortcut. browse to TestCookie.asp
c) launch a second IE using the same shortcut , wait a few second but don't
do anything in this IE instance
d) launch a third IE using the same shortcut and browse to TestCookie.asp
Hey,
The article was provided for you to get additional
information about the Persistent and Per-Session
cookies.
Session cookies are not shared among multiple
instances of Iexplore.exe, this is by design.
For further troubleshooting, please provide a
detailed description of the symptom and please
provide the exact error message you may get.
Sincerely,
William Wang

The article wasn't exactly clear whether or not
the
cookies aren't shared
across browser instances. I am running into intermittent errors where the
cookies set on one browser ended in the other browser.
This behavior isn't consistently reproducible though
Per-session cookies are used to store state information only within a
session. These cookies are cached only while a
user
is visiting the Web
server issuing the per-session cookie and are deleted from the cache when
the user closes the session.
Per-session cookies are frequently used by Active Server Pages (ASP) running
on Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0 or later. These cookies store
session information as the user navigates to multiple ASP pages in a site.
