Several months ago, I changed the attribute of my cookie file, and made it a read-only file. No one can set anything to it. When I go to a site that I HAVE to say yes to will I accept the cookie, I go ahead and say yes. The thing is, I'm not only let in, but nothing is written to my file. At the time I changed the attribute, I manually eliminated everything in the file. It is empty, but the file folder is there. It works. I have no problem getting into anything. <knocking on wood> So far. <G> And I've been to a lot of places where I need passwords. I just keep a list of them, and type them in each time. Diana
