1. This does not matter much . . . If any cookies were functional
in your system (e.g. for rapid recognition by a web site) there will
be a temporary delay while a new cookie is processed.
2. You may be able to UnDelete the folder in Win98 by going
to C:\Recycled and looking in the right side panel. If found,
highlight the icon and right click for the Menu with Restore.
3. The anomaly in the OP is that "Cookies" is a default
item of Win98 folder structure viz. c:\Windows\Cookies\
but "Files" is not the name of any Win98 folder.

He might have meant in the IE cleanup page, rather than in Explorer.

Huh? who told you that, because it's not true! Browsers keep their own cache
of stored passwords (IF you want them to) and do NOT store passwords in
cookies!

I've read your posts since you began posting on this group, and it seems you
have a REAL PROBLEM, act like a stupid CHILD, don't know what you're talking
about and SERIOUSLY need to learn something RIGHT which you can contribute!

Please, you need to do a LOT more READING on this group and forget about
posting replies for a few years or so, sheeze! (another to go on the
blocked senders list)

Read this (kindergarten stuff) and LEARN SOMETHING:

If it's the _browser_ that offers to store the password, that is true.
If the _site_ does, it can only (more or less) be in a cookie.

As that says, few websites _will_ store your password in this way; they
often store your username, and sometimes other things like your name
and/or address to save you time if you visit that site again, but rarely
password. But there's nothing to stop them doing so.

Yes, as you saw, FEW web sites store passwords in a cookie, albeit I must
add, POORLY written web sites will do such a stupid thing! And if a person
is visiting such sites they have much bigger problems than a bunch of
deleted cookies containing passwords, and in fact likely deserve what
happens to them !!!

As the article stated, a (properly written) site may use a *unique user ID*
in the cookie to save having to repeatedly log in. Ebay, Amazon and other
big sites do such things, which is fine, and there is no password
information (at least decrypted) that anyone can use. They use your
successful login then generate a cookie OR a flash .SOL file to UNIQUELY
identify you with an identifier.

The OP said, "you will need to remember ALL (read: ALL) of website Passwords
Because when you just browse away you see the browse cookies remember your
Passwords for you on the log-in WebPages!" ... which is WRONG!

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data which often includes an unique identifier, that
is sent to your browser from a web site you visit, stores as a file on your
computer, identifies you as a unique user and track your web usage.
However, cookies can threat to your privacy as they can store sensitive
information like your name and password on protected login pages,
preferences, account information and choices you have made on the site. So,
even if you clean browser history, cookies like a map will show your surfing
preferences, habits, passwords, etc. Even if the cookies don't contain such
information they clearly show that you visited the sites from which they
came. Also, in one of their malevolent forms, cookies from one web site
might track your visits to a different web site.
You can erase cookies manually or using special history eraser software
