cookies

With all the previous versions of Windows, I could easily find the folder
that stored the "cookies." Try as I may, I can't find it on Vista.
I get the Windows Vista magazine and they printed the "route" you had to
take, but it didn't work.

Where is the cookie folder?

Thank you

Open start menu and in search type cookies and it will open help and
support from there and explain how

Hi Katherine,

Click start, type:

shell:cookies

That's shell - colon - cookies with no spaces, hit <enter> and it will open
to the proper folder in your user profile.

To see the route indicated by the magazine, you likely need to set folder
options/view tab to see hidden and system folders.

Strange, your solution allowed me to find and open that folder myself, while
all others kept it hidden. How so?
I don't seem to have the "user name" available, at least not readily.

Harry.

Thanks for your reply

The first suggestion came back with "access denied"

However, I did change the folder options.

Thanks
