I cannot delete TIF ....( there are 128 entries ,they call themself "coockie".........). I have booted from startup disk (minimal boot) and in cd/windows i have typed > smartdrv deltree tempor~1 deltree history deltree temp It should be the right procedure, isn't it ? Thanks in advance, lando . Cookies aren't stored in the Temporary Internet Files but rather in their own folder, by default windows\cookies. They are visible in TIF when using Windows Explorer due to a bit of "windows magic". You can either manually delete them from either TIF or the cookies folder or use the provided GUI - Control Panel | Internet Options | General and click "Delete Cookies".

Thanks Joan, I'm so used to posters using the CDO interface rather than a newsreader I didn't think to check in this case. My bad. :-( Maybe this would be a good time for Lando to upgrade to IE6 SP1. Cheers, SignatureMike > He's running OE 5.5 Mike so he won't have the delete cookies option in > Internet Options. LOL I've just migrated all my WinMe NG's to XP which is where I'm spending most of my time now, so I already have #6 in there <vbg> Hope you've recovered from your visit to Will <g> Joan > Thanks Joan, > I'm so used to posters using the CDO interface rather than a newsreader I > didn't think to check in this case.

I'm fine with IE 5.5 SP2 ,just to be uptodate I could install IE 6 (that is ready in MS update site). 1) I see that the istallation is ONLINE ( last year I installed IE 5.5 SP2 offline and booted in safe mode !). 2) If I had to uninstall it ,I'd have my IE5.5 back (and working !) ? 3) Will be inherited my settings in Internet Options ? 4) I have Sun Java plug-in installed .I don't know how it is linked to IE ( I see an entry in IE Options... but is only this.........?) Have I to reinstall java ? 5) With IE 6 does change also OE ( Have to install Account and all other stuff?) ? 6) At the beginning, with IE6, will I have to face many new things that I don't know and have troubles ? About step 4 in Java NG say to try.........Of course I knew this! Thanks a lot in advance,Lando. > Thanks Joan, > I'm so used to posters using the CDO interface rather than a newsreader I [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > He's running OE 5.5 Mike so he won't have the delete cookies option in > > Internet Options. Installing IE6 SP1 should be straight forward and retain all your existing settings. Whether you choose to do so has to be your choice but you might want to take into account that IE5.5 won't be supported after the end of this year. If you choose to upgrade I would install from a full download rather than just the setup program on the Windows Update site. You can either download it all yourself using the setup program and then install "off-line" or you might be able to find a copy on a CD on the cover of a magazine.

Yes, although I would strongly recommend that you also make sure that a) system restore is working before making the upgrade, and b) make a manual checkpoint prior to starting the upgrade. The easiest way to check these is to create a shortcut on your desktop. Make a manual checkpoint. Delete the shortcut. Restore your system to the manual checkpoint and check that the shortcut was restored. Sort out any problems before proceeding to installing IE6/OE6. > Thanks in advance.
