Cookies folder

[George V]

There is no cookies folder on my XP professional with SP3. At one time it
was in system 32/config/systemprofile/Cookies, but its gone now and search
shows no such folder. What happened ?

Hello George,

The standard default location for cookies is at
C:\Documents and Settings\<User-Login>\Cookies

where <User-Login> is /your/ login user-account-name

Use My Computer (a.k.a., Windows Explorer) to look at folder(s)

looked under documents and settings. files there were administrator, all
users and default user. No cookie files in any of these. I also have files
set to show all hidden folders. ?

Is there somewhere in Microsoft I can go and download a folder for Cookies ?

George - Cookies folder is a hidden/Proteced OS folder - in View - Folder
Options both "show hidden files and folders" must be CHECKED and "Hide
protected OS files..." UNCHECKED.

AJR, I realize I'm visiting (finding) this thread a couple of months later, but I just had to say Thank You! This very question was driving me absolutely crazy for months. I knew about showing hidden folders, but had never paid attention to the other option. I'm SO happy to have my Cookies folder back. Thank you so much and thank you George for asking the question! :)
