Title: Cookies
Post by: Stuart2007 on December 14, 2009, 18:39:37: No, not the forum virtual cookies!

Does anyone know where cookies are stored on vista? It seems that I can't stop certain web page errors so I want to manually delete some of the cookies, but not all of them.

Anyone any ideas please? And if so, what are they?

tools\alternatives\webhistory then un-check all the boxes apart from the ''cookie box'' !:) and delete.

Post by: Stuart2007 on December 14, 2009, 19:08:18: Thanks chaps, but I don't want to delete them all... In IE I only get the option of deleting them all...

It was simple in XP...

Can't help you on Vista but Windows Explorer can be of help. Load it up and search for cookies. You'll probably finds 100's of them. Select all the files and then hold Ctrl and click on each one you want to keep, then select Delete.
