what he plans to do with the information - guess I'm not important
enough to know ha ha!

There, there. :)

So let me ask this - if a user were to clear
their cookies before logging off would this keep the cookies folder
from being copied to their profile?

Yep.

Maybe I didn't put enough information in my question. I want to be

see is each users internet files.

That sounds strange indeed. Generally, if you want to monitor
peoples' website use, you use a proxy server with this sort of
reporting built in. ISA in SBS2003 Premium willdothis for you.

The majority of our profiles have the
information stored on the network but we have a few users whose
cookies don't show up.

If you can't see \\server\profileshare\username\cookies at all, then
there's a problem.
If you see the folder and it's empty, but from the same computer you
can see \anotherusername\cookies, perhaps username has deleted them,
or has software that deletes them.
Or perhaps they're having roaming profile problems & you need to
check their workstation's event logs, etc.

I posted a question a few days ago to see if there was a way to
put temporary internet files into a users roaming profile on SBS

Yep, that was me, killjoy that I am.

My next question is regarding a
users cookies. We have a few users whose cookies do not show in
their profile while everyone else's do.

How are you checking?

All systems are running XP so I'm
not sure why there would be a difference. Is there something I
can check to correct this?
Thanks!


What view settings do they have in Explorer's folder options?
