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

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.

Thanks for your reply

The first suggestion came back with "access denied"

However, I did change the folder options.

Thanks

Katherine

On my Vista 64 Premium Home Edition, c:\users\MyUserName\Cookies gets
me there.
