I have internet explorer 5.5. Where can I find the cookies at, so I can delete them when necessary?

Also, what else would you suggest to delete to clean up unnecessary internet files?

Thanks pat

In win2000 the cookies for each user is under the user profile settings:

C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\Cookies

Just generally you can clean unnecessary IE files by reminding users to go to Tools --> Internet Options --> and clicking on the Delete files button from time-to-time. Always temporary IE files can be completely removed by browsing (with Windows Explorer) to C:\Documents and Settings\userprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files (that includes cookies as well.)
