I want to get rid of my internet cookies

Real problem with cookies over the past week.

Thanks

all you have to do is open internet explorer,
right click on the start button then click explore
scroll down to ‘ Temporary Internet Files ‘ and click
click on ‘Type’ at the top…
scroll and simply delete all the files which say ‘cookie’ under the ‘type’ bar (when pressed type bar, all files are put in alphabetical order)

Hope that this helps!!!
