OK, Jan, I forgot the import/export feature - a technique that might prove
useful.

FYI - I cleared my TIP folder by accessing it thru Explorer. Guess what!
THAT ALSO CLEARED MY Cookies folder!!!

How's that for Windows folder logic? I'm backed up & can restore my Cookies
folder. Otherwise, goodbye cookies.

I consider this issue a Windows BUG. I'm amazed there's no MS Knowledge
Base info or complaints like mine considering all the years it's been out
there for users to stumble over.

If you have any other comment I'll look under this thread. I'm done with
the issue on this newsgroup. Thanks
