Where are cookies in XP Pro

[Anton]

None found in seek with show hidden.

With Start Run I get some in
\Documents and Settings\x\Cookies

Under Tools will all go, incl. above, as are blocking some sites, but also
all I like top keep. Where are they to pick?

What?

Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Using your words (mostly)...
http://www.google.com/search?q=Where+are+cookies+in+"Windows+XP"

Should get you what you need and then some.

Without knowing which web browser you use, your guess is as good as
mine. I suggest you open a search engine and use this as your search term:

<name of browser> <version of browser> cookies folder

Internet Explorer provides an option to delete Cookies. Under
Tools / Internet Options / General / Browsing History / Delete
...., you can instruct Internet Explorer to delete Cookies. IE
knows where the cookies are, so you don't need to locate or open
the folder.

Internet Explorer 8 offers selective Cookie deletion, which is a
great improvement against some earlier versions of the program.
In particular, it is able to recognise and preserve those Cookies
and Temporary Internet files that relate to websites in your
Favorites folder.

Although IE8 does a good job, I prefer to use CCleaner to
maintain the cookies on my Win XP Pro (SP3) computer. You can
find details and download CCleaner at www.ccleaner.com/download.

I believe CCleaner maintains cookies better than the similar
function in Internet Explorer 8. The main advantage is that
CCleaner allows you to examine the complete list of all cookies
on your computer. Then, you can configure the program to
designate those cookies that you always want to keep. Having
selected cookies for permanent retention, the "clean" function of
CCleaner can delete all other cookies.

CCleaner also includes a registry cleaner. Perceived wisdom
suggests that registry cleaners can cause more problems than they
solve. In recommending CCleaner, I am not suggesting you should
use the program to clean your registry. However, the registry
cleaner is merely an additional option, which you don't need to
use.
