Are the Privacy Tools going to be added back to Defender.
This feature is most important to me.
Anyone know?
thanks

as any?
IE7 is now available as a public preview--well worth looking at--it can be
installed, and then uninstalled back to your current IE6 version, with very
little effort more than the reboot involved.

If you don't wish to use IE7 yet, the same privacy features are available for IE6 in a small download from Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...59-3B28-4801-8729-05335902CE79&displaylang=en

I haven't used that tool--does it give some granularity of control?

I'd be perfectly happy to ditch the TIF, but balk at deleting all cookies.

Unfortunately it uses the hit it with a sledgehammer approach. On the other hand the IE7 tools also take an all or nothing approach except that it's all or nothing by category. Personally I prefer CCleaner to perform cleanup because you can select cookies to keep and set it to run at startup so that you don't have to think a whole lot about TIF and cookies.

That's what I was afraid of. As I recall--it's designed basically as a
support tool for remote support staff to have a one-button solution to
clearing all that stuff away--there are some bugs that can be fixed by
clearing all those things.
