I have a ASP.NET application and I have set the Cookieless attribute in the
web.config file as false. When I run the application, I dont see the cookie
file created in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Cookies directory.
Where is the file created if I want to see the contents of the file? I am not
writing anything to the cookie specifically. I am using the default feature
with the cookieless=false to use it for maintaining the session ID.
 
I believe there are two types of cookies, one that live only in memory for
the duration of that window instance (or something like this) and ones that
are written to files.

Session cookies, I think, only live in memory because there lifespan is so
short and it might create a security risk if the ID was written to a file.

To view the cookies, you should be able to write out the cookies collection
that the server has.

I could be wrong, but this is my understanding.
