Answer 5

Are you sure someone else hasn't ate all of them? Did you check the cookie jar, cabinets and under your little sisters bed?

Answer 8

Perhaps you could try this: go into control panel then internet options then under the general tab look for browsing history click on settings then view files then on the window that appear scroll down and there may be some cookie files there for you, but I must admit that that first line is so true I've found in a year about 100 things wrong with Vista and 1 improvement.   Anyway I hope this helps

Windows XP:

C:\documents and settings\[username]\Cookies

Windows Vista:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\

Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\

and

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\

Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low\

Most of the cookies you are looking for are located in the low folder, meaning “lower privileged” application cookie store. So for things like Internet Explorer you will find them here.

I can’t see no cookies!

To see the cookie folder you need to uncheck ‘Hide protected operating system files’ from the folder tools dialog. Access this by opening any folder, hold down Alt, select Tools, select Folder Options, select View Tab and then half way down the list, uncheck ‘Hide….

Deleting Cookies

Remember if you wish to delete a single cookie rather than all the cookies, go to the relevant folder above, find the cookie with the domain name you wish to delete, this may be [e-mail] and [e-mail] and similarly for every subdomain you have visited at the site so make sure you find the right one. Delete the file from the folder, and then close and re-open Internet Explorer as if you don’t perform this step, and visit the site again, chances are the cookie will still be there as it is cached in it’s internal DB.
