Hi. I know someone on the web that says it's essential to
delete Temporary Internet Files and cookies as part of PC maintenance. The person said and I quote 'Doing the maintenance will alleviate a lot of headaches down the road.' Is it really essential to delete cookies? What problems can be caused by not deleting cookies? |

By not deleting cookies?...... first problem you have is the security aspect
of it as some site's store login information in them (very bad practice, but some webmasters are set in their ways). Is deleting them essential..?...... definately not. Is it advised?..... most of the time, yes -- Regards Steven Burn Ur I.T. Mate Group www.it-mate.co.uk Keeping it FREE! wrote in message ... Hi.

Its not essential to delete cookies - they're essentially harmless in the
scheme of things; they store web site preferences, sometimes encrypted usernames/passwords. Deleting your cache is a good idea, because it is so dynamic. -- _______________________________________ Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org wrote in message ... Hi.
