Perhaps you have uncovered something interesting here; I don't HAVE a
Temporary Internet Files folder under my user account. (And, yes, I do have
administrator privileges.) There are 4 Temporary Internet Files folders on
this machine. One is under Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings. The 2nd is under Documents and Settings\Default User\Local
Settings. The 3rd is under Windows\Temp. The 4th is under
Windows\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\systemprofile\Local Settings. The first two, which
are in the User Acccounts, are entirely empty except for a file named
Index.dat. The second two, which are both under the Windows folder, have a
subfolder called Content.IE5 under which there are a number of other
subfolders plus the Index.dat file. All the subfolders under Content.IE5 are
entirely empty. Is this interesting?
As previously stated, although I have Cookies set on "Blocked", I have
selected a number of Web sites and individually approved them for all
cookies. I have done so under Internet Options/Privacy/Sites, where I have
listed the desired sites and clicked on Always Allow.

Since I have cookies approved for the specific sites in question (both in IE
and my Windows user account), and since the preferences in each of my
security utilities is set to notify me if anything is being blocked, and
since I am not getting any such notifications, it is hard to see one them as
being the issue, although there is obviously a conflict somewhere and I
suppose security remains a suspect. I'm not willing to give up security for
the convenience, of course, but if anyone could point me to a setting that
I'm overlooking it would be appreciated. Your comment regarding using
Firefox or Opera is interesting, though. It seems to suggest that the
difficulty I am having is a known issue in IE and that it is NOT an issue in
those other two. Is such the case?
The settings in control panel / InterNet Options should be the correct
ones to set.
Try this, in Windows Explorer goto:
Documents and Settings\XXX\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
XXX being your log in name
Delete everything, your missing your cookies anyhow.
Open IE goto CNN.COM hit F5 to refresh the directory and click on
name, Doing the same I get two cookies and one called cookie.crumb.
Close IE then hit F5 see if the cookies are still there.
If not you are set up to delete cookies when you close IE, or
something else is removing them.
If you can't see any files then you need to change your setup.
Open Windows Explorer (WinKey+E), under TOOLS, open Folder Options,
then the View Tab. Change these settings:
Select Display the contents of system folders
Select Show hidden files and folders
UnSelect Hide Extensions for known file types
Unselect Hide Protected operating system files (ignore popup)

Could be. I am running a number of security apps, 3 of which are set on
auto-detect. I also have Windows Firewall working and have a hardware
firewall in place. I have tried to save user names and passwords with
everything off (except for Windows Defender and the hardware firewall)
without luck. If indeed it is one of these, does anyone know of any way to
work around them? Can it really be that there are options to allow these
cookies in Windows, but that those options will only actually work when the
machine is left completely unprotected?
You need to check the config (preferences) of each program to see what
they do.
You can run FireFox or Opera, as an option -

My machine refuses to save log in and password information for a number of

option. I have specifically allowed cookies for the sites in IE. I have
selected the option to "remember me on this computer" (or its alternatives)
on the sites themselves. I have even tried logging on to those sites with
all my security apps and my Windows firewall disabled. All to no avail. I
return to the sites and it is as though I am a first time user and have done
none of the above. What am I overlooking? This is just a convenience issue,
but a very annoying one. Any help out there?
First guess is your running a malware detection program, and one of
it's duties is to clear the cookies.
