Well ... cookies live in the Cookie folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows
There is also a symbolic link to this directory, at:
C:\Users\<username>\Cookies.
.... but you can't use this link directly, you get an "access denied" error.
How to tell this Cookies is a symbolic link and not a real directory? Easy,
just use a "dir /a:s" command:
C:\Users\<username>>dir /a:s
Volume in drive C is System
Volume Serial Number is 7846-1538
Directory of C:\Users\<username>

As you can see, most of the "directories" off your home directory are
actually Symbolic Links to other locations.
As for add-ins ... well, that depends. What add-ons are we talking about?
Add-ons for Internet Exploer? Office? Firefox? But generally, add-ons are
similar to independnet programs, and install themselves somewhere under the
"C:\Program Files" directory. But it's up to the developer of each add-in.
Vista also uses a feature called Virtualisation, which can "virtualise"
well-known program locations for poorly designed applications. So instead of
being installed under C:\Program Files" and app could end up installed
somewere under the C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore directory.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387 for details.

Well, it is very clear. Thanks for your ideas.
I'm talking about IE's add-ons, do you know?

I'm talking about IE's add-ons, do you know?
The MSDN Library section on "Browser Helper Objects" (formal name for IE
Add-on) does not specify any particular location where they should be
installed. Since they are executables, they should be treaded as such. Some
Microsoft-supplied BHOs (Add-ons) are installed under %SystemRoot% (usually
C:\Windows), some Microsoft add-ons and most 3rd party Add-ons are installed
under %ProgramFiles% (usually C:\Program Files).

You're kidding me. You really can't work this out for yourself?
Serach for flash.ocx.
Anyway, it's installed in %SystemRoot%\System32\Macromed. Yes, Flash Player
is a (very) badly behaved app: it should install itself under
%ProgramFiles% - but, it doesn't.

No, no...
Something wrong with my Flash Player and everything is fine now. Thanks for
your help.
