What do I think? I think Robert W. Brown has been grossly misinformed. He might wish to read:

http://www.widgetinc.com/blog/2008/04/truth-about-mpiskotphobia.html

for a discussion of how much of a threat cookies really are (not much, really – there is no big brother). Also, you can certainly delete cookies from IE7 – I do it all the time.

He may also wish to get a definition of a “virus” – there are no viruses in IE, either.

This sort of paranoid misinformation does no one any good.

The majority of the time on my computer, this does NOT work. IE is a horribly designed application, in my opinion, when clicking “delete cookies” does not delete cookies.

To Mike,

The Internet options to delete all cookies doesn’t work. Period. You must delete them manually from your temporary internet files folder. If you only use the commands in IE, some remain.

Moreover, there are often persistent URLs that will remain in either your drop down window or your internet browsing history even after you thought you deleted them all.

Dump MSIE.

I have used the delete all; but, for some reason on my computer the files do not delete, so I delete them manually. Has anyone seen this happen and how to fix it?

Brian,
You are correct about how to delete only the cookies that you want to delete.
But to make it easier, once you have navigated to your cookes
in IE7, you can choose, View/Current View / Sort by and choose “Type”, now all of your cookies are listed together in the list, and it is much easier to sort through them.

Are you guys nuts, of course you can delete cookies in IE 7 just go to Tools, General Tab, Browsing History section, click on Settings, view files and delete all you want.

Go to Internet Options, Click on Settings under Browser History, Click on View Files. You can delete one by one there or view them.

I just read a comment that described in details how cookies cannot be deleted from IE 7. I am deleting IE 7 permanently. I will find that comment and keep it to send to others. I don’t like big brother tracking me on the Internet or anywhere else for that matter. I am going to pass this information on, to everyone I meet, and I will recommend the Firefox browser. http://www.firefox.com The Firefox browser is virtually free of viruses,

If anyone wants to write to me, I will provide them with the information they may want. My e-mail address is as follows: karridog@gmail.com
