Cookies folder in IE 7
Posted by Matt on February 13th, 2007
I recently installed internet explorer version 7 and noticed I no longer have a cookies folder. With IE 6 the folder was located at
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies
I went into a folder, clicked Tools -> Folder Options -> View and unchecked “Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)” and now the cookies folder is back at the same location it was previously:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies
Now back in IE 7, another way to access the cookies without showing all the protected operating system files.
Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Browsing History -> Settings -> View Files
will allow you to access the cookies also, but they are mixed with all the temporary internet files so they are inconvenient to browse this way. View files by type to make it a little easier.
