Well deleting from the Temporary internet files directory should solve your problem. You didn't find any .txt files in there? I'm using Windows 2000 but it should be the same as in Windows XP, everything is.

And cookies are just small txt files.

Perhaps there is a way to tag them so to speak, I don't know how though. Perhaps if you write protect the cookies you want to save and the clean the cookies from the Internet Options. I have no idea if it would work but you could try it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: Back up your cookies if you try this and don't want to lose them.
