    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.

    Harry.

    Thanks for your reply

    The first suggestion came back with "access denied"

    However, I did change the folder options.

    Thanks

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

    The easiest is to type SHELL:COOKIES into the Start/search field and hit
    Enter. That brings up the cookies folder.
