For some bizarre reason my cookies are lost when I shut down XP or even logoff and log back in. If I logon to SN then shut my browser and reopen its fine.

Anyone got any ideas what is causing this as its doing my nut in having to logon each time I use a forum (I use quite a few)?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon.

 

Top - as this is bugging the crap outta me.

Si.

 

Have you installed some kind of privacy program, eg History Kill, History Clear, etc ?

 

Is this just the cookies or your temporary internet files as well?

The only thing that I can think of is under Tools ---> Internet Options ---> Advanced Tab ---> Security settings (near the bottom of the window) ---> Is the "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" checked?

I seem to remember from using earlier op systems that this folder held all the cookies as well as the temp files.....
