Thanks. But now, I am concerned about my cookies that are in the Administrator profile. Is there anyway to transfer the cookies to the new user profile "ken"?


It would be quite simple to copy or move the cookies from one user profile folder to another, but I don't know if all of the cookies would still function, as they'd have the configuration information for "administrator@such&Such_website.com," rather than for "Ken@such&Such_website.com." Some might be made functional by the simple expedient of renaming them, but it'll probably be on a case-by-case basis. In general, I'd have to conclude that trying to transfer the cookies, and the configuration data therein, would be much more trouble than it'd be worth, unless you've a lot of time on your hands.
