Who's got the cookies?

Internet Explorer cookies in Vista seem to be stored in two user
folders: ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
and ...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

You can see the cookies in the first folder with IE tools|Internet
Options|General|Settings|View Files but I can't find a way to access the
"Low" sub-folder.

Does anybody know of a "friendly" way to get at the full cookie list (as
opposed to running Cmd as administrator).

Hi,

You would need to edit permissions from the security tab of the folder's
properties and give your user account full control.

Hi MikeH,

You can use the free CCleaner program. It has a great cookie manager
built into it.

'CCleaner - Home' (http://ccleaner.com/)
