| 130359 | 2003-03-23 11:43:00 | Errr Baldy are you sure you're in the Haggis or is it the Speights? In IE go to "Tools" "Internet Options" then delete cookies under the "General Tab" . |

| 130360 | 2003-03-23 11:43:00 | What browser? For IE . In open window top menu's, go to, Tools > Internet Options > (or right click the desk top short cut and select properties) and on the general tab click on the button that says "Delete Cookies" you can also nail a few more files (internet) by clicking on "Delete Files . . . . . " and a few more by checking the "delete all offline content" box and more still by clearing the "History" button . All that won't remove everything though . For that you will need say; Windows Washer and/or Spybot and/or Adaware and/or Spyder . Think there is a PF1 FAQ on it . HTH Murray P |

| 130361 | 2003-03-23 11:46:00 | Hi again Baldy, You are having a good clean out aren't you! I just went to search for files & typed in 'cookies', & it showed up a Cookie Suitcase, I was surprised to find that I had 301 of them. I looked at what some of them were & decided to hang on to them for a bit longer. I have Win ME & I think that you do too. Pauline. |

| 130362 | 2003-03-23 12:13:00 | Hi ya - I have been looking into this cookie thing - Ive got three files with them on. How do you know which ones you should keep and which you should delete. I have XP home. | Ladybug (3129) | ||
| 130363 | 2003-03-23 12:27:00 | If you use Windows Washer or Spybot they will give you a description of the cookies origin/use. you can then decide within the programme whether you wish to keep this or that cookie, PressF1 for eg = keep. What Windows Washer and Spyder can do as well is to get rid of the dat files, that hide in your system folders, and contain records of sites visited, emails, seaches, etc. You can't always see these files even with "View All Hidden Files" selected in your folder option > view settings. Just typing this out gives me the creeps. Must get around to reinstalling those apps myself :) HTH Murray P |

| 130364 | 2003-03-24 04:17:00 | Delete them all guys . All that means is that you will have to login to F1 and a few other favourite sites when you first go back to them . I get rid of mine once a week or whenever I decide to clear temporary internet files . I do all that first in IE, then run a boot disk and batch file to weed out all the index . dat files and anything else left over that MS systems don't touch . Cheers Billy 8-{) |
